Clutch pedal vibration

Clutch pedal vibration
I have a 00 dodge dakota 3.9 manual tranny and have had problems with this truck since day 1. I have replaced clutch plate, pressure plate throwout bearing master and clutch cylinders. When I start the truck there is a noise as if the throwout bearing is bad and vibration in the pedal. Noise stops when clutch is depressed. Do I need to bench bleed the slave and master if slave has a bleeder? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. THE FRUSTRATION HAS SET IN

Welcome to the forum. I moved your post into the regular forum.
A bad throwout bearing usually makes noise when you depress the clutch pedal.
I'd be looking at the transmission. With the pedal depressed the input shaft stops turning. You could have a bad pilot bearing/input shaft bearing. The vibration can transmit through the pedal/etc. It would help to know exactly how the pedal feels.
There are no bleeders on an OEM clutch master/slave cylinder. If you had a spongy pedal that would be another issue. It does not sound like that is the problem.
It could also be a bad pressure plate. One of the fingers might be at a different height.
Hope it helps.
