Default Reaching out to Southern California 6 speed manuals

Is there anyone in L.A. San Diego, or any part of Southern California that I could meet up with who has a non problematic clutch so I/we can compare how our cars drive? I have had the sticky clutch issue resolved with the TSB but now have vibration in the clutch pedal while upshifting and downshifting. The vibration is more prevalent with higher RPM's.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks

I have a slight vibration in the pedals and slight shimmy in the wheels at 60 mph as well. It doesn't bother me much though maybe its because I've been fixing my cars up since I could drive. I really can't do much about it now since my car is lower and they'll just blame it on that.

Thanks. I appreciate the opportunity.

I assume you're in LA based on your name.
Did you have clutch work to resolve the sticky clutch issue?
Is your clutch free of vibration?
