Vibrations from clutch pedal

I have vibrations from the clutch pedal for some reason.
The flywheel and clutch have just been taken out, fully balanced and machined etc and the car is heaps smoother at any revs and any throttle position but the clutch still vibrates heaps.
What can the problem be??
Thanks

Hmmm, could be a number of things...
Can I assume a new clutch plate itself & thrust bearing were also installed? Did you bed the clutch in at all? Ie doing a few laps of the block riding it a bit to wear the new clutch plate in a little?
If all thats happened then it could be a bit more concerning...
Because its a hydraulic clutch, the only thing that it going to cause movement in the pedal, is if the clutch slave cylinder is being pushed in or out unexpectedly... and things that do that are improperly seated thrust bearing & warped clutch plates

To clarify things by vibrations I mean that once the clutch is fully out (engaged), if I hold my foot on it (not actually pressing it in but just lightly rest my foot on it) it has vibrations. Kind of like an engine vibrates (Imagine putting your foot on an engine and then revving it). That's what it feels like.
As far as bedding it in... well I drove it normally for a while and didn't use it hard or anything.
Like I mentioned before everything has been changed, balanced etc but the problem is still there!
It's annoying to drive and annoying to rev the car as at 8000rpm it gets quite bad
