Default Yes, another clutch decel buzz question...

I have read up on this "clutch decel buzz" which is appears to be quite common. However, from most of my readings, this only occurrs when you are off the gas pedal and coasting in gear as revs drop from 4-3k rpm range.

My car does the exact same thing but it's when revs are dropping from 3-2k rpm. And it's not just a buzzing noise as i can feel slight high frequency vibrations (like those battery operated massage thingys) through the seat. If you get back on the gas or clutch in, it all goes away, just like the clutch decel problem. Am I a victim to the clutch decel buzz that everyone is experiencing? Or do i have another problem?

No offense taken. I am not complaining about the vibrations/buzzing. I just want to ensure that everything is mechanically ok with the car.

Its a MY 2000. I'm sure that several of your bushings are worn. There are several posts on what to fix.

Bushings? What kind of bushings?

FYI, despite being a MY00, it only has around 18k miles.

although you have low mileage the bushing could still dry out/rip exc from weather and stuff but im sure your fine.....i doubt that is your prob. as long as the car still feels nice and tight on the road ur good but just get under the car and check them out if your worried.
