pedal free play should be 3/4 - 1"(is proper clearance).
there is only so many things that cause the vibration there. if the clutch is adjusted properly and there is the proper tension on the arm from the spring there should be no problem. at 47,000 mi there shouldn't be that much wear in the linkage, unless the odometer has been over a couple of times and is sitting at 47,000. have you greased the z/bar.
the other possibility is broken ball stud retainer spring in the t/o arm. this could cause the arm and bearing to move forward with the proper free play as a broken or missing spring couldn't retain it in place

Just thinking about this. the arm rally vibrate. a moving part has to set up a vibration such as a bad bearing or as bad ujoint in a driveshaft. a faulty t/o bearing could do that, but only when engaged with the pressure plate, otherwise it would rattle from being loose as from a broken retainer epring.
so I guess the thing to do is to take off the inspection cover and see if the arm is secure and make sure that the t/o bearing is free of the pressure plate and that will eliminate those areas. if you can get your fingers up there to turn the t/o, just feel if it turns smoothly
