[s-cars] FW: clutch issue-95.5 s6

[Rokas Reipa]

The clutch is original, as far as I can tell. Car has 138k miles. The funny
thing is, the vibration does not persist when the clutch is completely
pressed in(disengaged) and held down; it only vibrates AS the clutch is
being pressed down. Similarly, as the clutch is being released(car gets
moving), it vibrates as the clutch comes into contact but does not when 100%
engaged. I was thinking t/o bearing as well and was hoping it wouldn't be
that. How much of a pita is it to change it on these cars and is there a
definite way of pinpointing it as being the culprit? Thanks,

How new/old is the clutch setup?  Since it only occurs when the clutch is
"engaged" I would wonder about a possible throwout bearing???

Ladies and Gents,

Bled the clutch+brakes last week using my newly acquired Motiv pressure
bleeder. Horrendous-looking and smelling fluid came out of the clutch slave
cyl, made me glad I decided to bleed. The feel of the clutch, interestingly
enough, didn't change all that much. Now, a week later, I am getting
palpable rough clutch pedal vibrations upon engaging(releasing) the clutch
in first and second gears. The same vibrations manifest when pushing in the
clutch at anything higher than ~3000rpm. This is starting to worry me. The
clutch otherwise behaves(I think) fine; it engages about halfway and does
not seem to slip. What could these vibrations signify, if anything? Getting
very worried here. Thanks for any help
