Hey guys,
I am getting a lot of vibration through the clutch pedal which in turn is causing lots of rattling which is getting on my nerves.
Just for some background, we swapped a shitty T45 for another shitty T45. The tranny works but is definitely not the nicest shifting thing out there. During the swap, we replaced the pilot and throw out bearing, and the fly wheel. The clutch itself is a Centerforce Dual Friction that I believe has less than 10k miles on it and was in decent shape when we took it out. MGW shifter on top of everything.
When in neutral there is absolutely no vibration. The vibration goes away when the clutch is engaged. All the vibration occurs when in gear. 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear have more vibration than 4th and 5th. 4th and 5th shift much nicer than 1-3, I don't know if that is correlated. Now there does seem to be some play with the firewall adjuster and the cable. The problem is the engagement point is currently pretty high with a little bit of play so I cannot really put more tension on the cable.
Here is a pic of the firewall adjuster down below. There is some wiggle room between the black circular part and the metal it is resting against. Any thoughts on what I should do? Looking around people say to get a new clutch cable, quadrant and firewall adjuster. Others say it is the throw out bearing or even flywheel, but those were replaced with the tranny swap.

Any help is appreciated!
