An anti-vibration system (10) for the foot pedal (11) of a hydraulic clutch release system (9) utilizes a pulse dissipating canister (30) interposed between a first conduit portion (20) and a second conduit portion (21). The first conduit portion (20) communicates between a slave cylinder (22) and the canister (30), and the second conduit portion (21) communicates between a master cylinder (15) and the canister (30). The canister (30) has a hollow interior chamber (31), which is axially bounded by laterally spaced, circular front and rear walls (32 and 34, respectively) and circumferentially bounded by an annular wall (34) which extends between the front and rear walls (32 and 33) to define the outer periphery of the canister (30). The first conduit portion (20) communicates with the hollow interior chamber (31) of the canister (30) through the center portion of the front wall (32). The second conduit portion (21) communicates with the hollow interior chamber (31) of the canister (30) along the medial portion of the annular wall (34). A plurality of resilient washers (45) may be utilized to isolate the conduit portions (20 and 21) from the floorboard (44) of the vehicle in which the anti-vibration system is installed, and a relatively short length of a flexible, radially resistant conduit portion (50) may be interposed between the canister (30) and the second conduit portion (21).
