Default Small grind in clutch pedal near bottom of travel?

well, like stated above when at a complete stop and workin the clutch just as i let it off the floor and begin giving it gas I feel a small vibration/grinding noise in my left foot and slightly through out the car (i ask people if they feel it and they all can after i ask them about it ) soo u gotta kinda be looking for it....
I have a 90 DA soo its a cable clutch... <- possible bindage
Clutch/release bearing @ approx. 20k miles ago <- usually start squeeking first

If anyone has anyidea Or has even heard of this problem before shoot me some ideas

If I'm reading correctly you're saying your replaced the clutch 20K ago? I'm wondering if it might have something to do with not resurfacing or replacing the flywheel. It could cause a kind of chatter/vibration if you didn't have it resurfaced. Only other thing I can think of is maybe there's a problem with one of the springs in the clutch hub (and that's kind of a long shot).

Its not much of a chatter, but just a little vibration and very quiet noise...
the reason I dont think it has anything to do with a Internal Transaxle Part being that there is about 4 feet of clutch cable and to feel something through a little cable would have to be much worse/noticable.
I looked at it out side and had someone workin the pedal and while i listend around and the problem never showed itself

Does it feel like your foot is being electrocuted, but without the tingling sensation?

If yes, then it might be a spring popping out of the clutch disc.

hahah, you really think so... cause i had someone mess around with it and it cant be heard... its more than just a cable moving around in there... i think
Did honda ever have any problems witn breaking clutch cables?... the reason i ask was my old mazda had a problem with the cable till it snapped and it did something similar but much more violently and loudly....

yea, ive never really payed much attention to it because it didnt go away when i replaced my clutch when it was bad. i think it also could be us feeling that spring on the release fork. im not going to worry about it until i start hearin strange noises.

It could also be the clutch release bearing.

I said clutch spring first because the first time I experienced it was in my roommate's Integra. The pedal liked to vibrate at the bottom of its travel, but the gears would grind on almost every upshift, gradually getting worse day by day. When we replaced the clutch, the clutch release bearing was fine.

Case 2: Drove a customer's car at the Honda dealership and the clutch pedal also vibrated at the bottom of its travel. Gears didn't grind tho. But, you could hear the chafing noise when loading the clutch release bearing followed by the absence of the chafing when the release bearing was unloaded.
