Thumbs up Vibration from clutch pedal when decelerating

Does anyone else have this problem, is it normal? Its a 2002 car so I don't think the clutch buzz TSB applies, and I'm not sure its the same problem as its more a feeling in the clutch pedal rather than something I can clearly hear.

I don't know if the problem has been getting steadily worse, but since i've noticed it, its starting to bug me.

To cause it, simply have the car in either 2nd or 3rd and decelerate between 4000-3000rpm, leaving your foot lightly on the clutch pedal, as if about to change gear. At about 3500 there is a nasty vibration feeling, quite disconcerting.

Any ideas?

Yes I get it too occassionally, just put it down to part of the car's character.

I get this.....but I think it's to be expected if you've got your foot slightly depressing the clutch!!!

Thanks all. At least I now know its normal for the car to do it. I'd be interested in understanding why, if anyone knows, and why only at about 3.5krpm?
