Default Clutch Fork Rattle...Can it be an adjustment issue?

hello guys. I have been having this rattle from the clutch fork which I believe its coming from there on acceleration. When it rattles, if I lightly put pressure on the clutch pedal, the rattle would go away.

My question is, could this be a clutch adjustment by loosening the 12 mm nut and taking out the freeplay? Example: with the car off, I push the clutch pedal down until I feel resistance, once pressure is reach hold it there and turn the clutch rod until there is no freeplay.

is that the way to eliminate the freeplay? let me know. Thank you.

maybe the adjustment bolt is loose. Are you talking about the pedal vibrating?

I'll check the bolt and see if its loose. I don't think its the pedal vibrating but i'm going to try and rule that out first. Thank you.

I'm having a similar issue and have yet to figure out what is. It's been driving me crazy. It happens sporadically, I just can't figure it out. I tried the pedal adjustment and that didn't work for me personally, hopefully you have more luck

And no that is not the right way to adjust freeplay , you always want a little

are you guys getting the rattle around 2500-3000 on acceleration?

some days it doesn't make a peep and other days it rattle and sound horrible so I lightly put pressure on the clutch to make it stop rattling. Anything above 3k it doesn't rattle at all.

Checked the bolt to the clutch pedal and adjustment screw and it wasn't loose.
