6MT clutch vibration?

[yardovich]

Hey all,

I have an ~1 month old 09 6MT coupe with about 850 miles on it...started noticing something weird today when I was driving. When shifting from 1-2 and 2-3, when I would press the clutch in I could feel the pedal vibrating. It was pretty subtle, not a hard shake or anything, I think a "tingle" in my foot would be the best way to describe it - didn't happen everytime either. I wasn't driving the car hard - I was just making my way through traffic on a 45mph highway w/ stoplights.

Thanks in advance for any input... I definitely don't post here often but find myself checking this site a couple times a day - great forum

Did you ever try to find out why, i've been driving manual cars for 10 yrs and never experience that.

there is a TBS for this... you'll have to search for it.

I have never had that characteristic either in ANY of my cars honda or otherwise, but it also has not manifested itself negatively in any other way other than the buzz at the pedal.

i am sure it has to do with the pilot or flywheel as the feeling tapper off as clutch engages completely.

what I would like to do is find a very aggressive clutch and get the flywheel and pilot replaced, but that's a bit off in the distance until i get the handling where I want it

I know exactly what you're talking about. I've always driven MT vehicles, and I've never felt that vibration in the clutch before. It seems to be the most noticeable around 2000-2500 RPM. I did find that if i shift earlier and/or later the vibration isn't so distinct.

Why would you be feeling the clutch at 2000-2500 rpms? Do you mean as let the clutch out?

I'm really not sure where this clutch pedal vibration comes from. With the car sitting still, I fully press the clutch down to the floor and rev the motor and I can feel the vibration in the clutch pedal. I am hoping this is just a quirk of the car and not some parts rubbing together. Likewise, I can feel this same clutch pedal vibration while driving, shifting from one gear to the next, when the clutch pedal is pressed down.

I got a 2010 v6 coupe and have the same issue. I have searched all Service Bulletins on accords and can't find a thing related to this. Anyone have an update with this? Is it normal or a problem that can be fixed?

Does anybody know the outcome of the clutch pedal vibration/buzzing previous posters were referring to in this thread? I have a new 2012 6MT and the same issue started at about 600 miles. Its most likely to happen in 1st and 2nd with the clutch fully depressed. Also, it seems if I delay depressing the clutch a bit longer after easing up on the throttle I can avoid getting the vibration. So it seems to be related to engine revs with the clutch fully disengaged. Thanks to anyone for their help.
