Hello Everyone. I replaced my first clutch ever in a 1991 Toyota Previa. Everything went well except for one side affect. When engaging the clutch, there is a very minor vibration that occurs, say 30% of every engagement. The vibration is very minor, No noise, and you can't feel it if you are a passenger.
I can feel it through the clutch pedal, and the steering wheel, and the mirrors visibly vibrate a little. I am certain it is because I placed too much lube on the clutch disk spline. The grease likely contaminated the disk when it spun at 3000+ rpm. For now, it is a minor inconvenience, but will this issue become something worse if I leave it as is? Will the disk wear unevenly and cause some sort of catastrophic failure? I don't want to go back in there. If you know the Previa, you know it is not a nice van to work under. Like I said, The vibration is very minor, it's like feeling the pulse of a speaker pounding a bass line through the the pedal and steering wheel. And it doesn't occur every time.
