Default Pulsating Clutch Pedal

50% of the time when the clutch is disengaged (pedal on the floor) I can feel the pedal pulsating. Clutch is not slipping, and engagements are smooth for the most part.

2006 with 26,000 miles.

It is possible that the throw out bearing is going bad already??? Or could it be something else?

Default you may be over extendimng the clutch if its on the floor. We have a hydrolic clutch

and pushing it to the floor may not be the best thing. It should engage way before that. Lighten up on teh clutch and see what happens. If it still does it it may be your TO Bearing

Default Forgot to mention that I only feel it at a standstill

i.e., shifting into 1st at a light when it turns green, etc.

Default Your clutch plate may have shed some lining and be unbalanced. Mine disintegrated

and was replaced. It is common according to my tech. Apparently they get too hot (not from slippage but from environment they are in) and the bonding agent lets go. That or the TO bearing. Either way I had all the clutch components (Pressure plate, TO bearing, disc, flywheel, and slave cylinder) replaced free.
