Default Clutch Question??????????

Just got an '04 Z06 with 13K miles and have a question. When I push the clutch pedal in slightly there's a constant, I want to say vibration, but that's not really it. Is this normal????????

I get that occassionally.

Refresh the clutch fluid. Do this several times and then on a more regular basis. Once you have the process down, it takes less than 15 minutes. I prefer to lay towels down more like surgery to protect everything and I use a mighty-vac to remove the old fluid. I also use a small funnel to add the new fluid.

Synopsis: remove clutch fluid, clean out reservoir, replace fluid (Dot 4 syn) and (everything off) pump pedal 30 times. Then a quick drive around the block and the vibration should be gone or unusual pedal behavior should be gone.
