When you say "tap the pedal", do you mean you press and hold it only enough
to remove the freeplay? Or are you tapping the pedal briefly then removing
your foot from it?

ok what i mean about tapping on the clutch pedal, is when the clutch
pedal is release from the master cylinder and it's on gear.. you know
how when you rest your feet upon the clutch pedal while the clutch is
release.. I can feel the rattle vibration of the clutch pedal while
it's on gear and i'm giving gas on it..

Oh, so you mean you experience this sensation when the pedal is ON THE
FLOOR.

Chances are good at least one of your 4 friction-disc springs is getting
ready to jump ship. You'll be fine until one of those springs pops out
completely. At that point the clutch will refuse to disengage and you'll be
stranded. Time for a visit to a professional.
