Vibration In The Clutch Pedal...

As you all know, I recieved delivery of my new ZS 2 weeks ago (on the 27th).

As I've been driving it today I noticed I'm feeling quite a bit of vibration/stickiness (its a hard one to describe) in the clutch as I depress/release it... kinda like it has steps I guess... As the car is so new (not even hit 1k miles yet) what could the problem be? Or is it normal and just me being paranoid as the clutch wears in :P

    I noticed this on mine too. I'm 1500 odd miles in now and it seems to have subsided. I also noticed the steering knocking and it feeling a bit notchy at full lock but again, this went after a few hundred miles.

    First world problems eh

    Lol, I've only had it once so far in the new one, but every Ford new or old does it! My old fiesta was a nightmare, took about 5 attempts every time :P

    The Revers quirk is easily avoidable, I just lift the clutch slowly, and if it hasn't Gone in right then I push it and it pops in.

    Reverse on ST is perfect, has lift up though.

    My 7.5 zetec is a lot, and I mean a lot easier to get into revere than my mk7 one. My old one used to be a right pain in the !Removed!, and was always worse when someone was around to hear the crunch haha
