Default Attention Spec 2 clutch owners - ever feel a vibration at the clutch padal when the clutch is out?

the vibration goes away as soon as the clutch starts to engage. I am beginning to think it might be the throw out bearing that came with the kit. It was a bit different from the OEM throw out bearing as it did not include a plastic insulator where the bearing rests on the pressure plate.

The vibration might be when engaging and power in rpms. Like it feels you may stall??

Default Might be a cracked diaphragm spring or improperly seated pressure plate. --->

Is the pedal effort reduced?
