Hey guys,
When my clutch is fully depressed and i turn my wheel without moving i can feel a very noticable taping feeling on my clutch. Anyone know what this could be? My car drives perfectly fine and theres no weird noises come from anything.

hmmm, let me check some more M3s so I can tell if this is normal.
If you keep the engine at a higher RPM, say 1,500RPM, does the tapping still happen?
Check the revs if they drop significantly when you turn the wheel. When you're not moving, it takes a lot more umph for the power steering to turn your tires. My brothers old pickup didn't have power steering... you'd start sweating buckets trying to navigate a parking lot!
yes the clutch is pressed to the floor and i still feel a tapping feeling like sunthing is hitting it
i also feel it when the car is rolling slowly
I get the feeling when im driving at normal speeds around corners
clutch hydraulics maybe going? or air pockets in the lines?
I do feel tapping on the clutch pedal from some Mazda 3 and Mazda 6. It's more noticeable when RPM changes. My feeling is the clutch finger springs may deformed by heat, or the pilot bearing/release bearing is going south. Some release bearings from other make/models have dampening spring washer install to lessen the tapping, but on Mazda, they don't have it.
