Unless its a vibration in the drivetrain that only shows up when the drivetrain is neutral like mine was.

Where do you feel the vibration? In the seat I'm assuming? Does it change with speed?

If it vibrates when the clutch is engaged, which is taking the pedal off the floor, the disc is likely warped. The springs on the disc could also be bad.

It is called chatter.

He's saying when he is driving and holds the pedal to the floor. Engaging the pedal I guess he means.

no it's flat spots on my front tires. very bad flat spots. when I accelerate weight transfers to the rear pulling the weight off the front hence no vibration under acceleration. when I engage the clutch weight transfers slightly to the fron and I get vibration and when I get on the brakes lots of weight transfers and I get lots of vibration. so yeah no fun. gonna cost about $320 for new front tires mounted and balanced and all that jazz to fix

According to him, it's not vibrating while braking, at least he didn't mention it. He said it did it during shifts when more weight was transfered to the front. I'm guessing its the rims or tires, but it should also vibrate all the time in normal driving, at least up to a certain speed.

When you push in your pedal, you are disengaging the clutch. When you lift the pedal off the floor, you are engaging the clutch.
