Default Clutch pedal vibrations

Does any one elses clutch pedal have a slight vibration? I get a tingly sensation throught the pedal and floor area and some through the foot rest. This makes my foot feel weird when I get out of my S2k after driving it for about a half an hour or more.

Or, is it just me?

No, this is not your imagination!!!!!

I have been experiencing the same exact problem in my MY2001. I had the clutch replaced in October 2001 under TSB 00-54 using FD (Friction DISC) part number xxxx-xx-xx45, and its respective pressure plate and fly wheel. One month later, FD PN xxxx-xx-xx55 came out. I am going back into the shop in May to have it done again.

Mine vibrates so much on Deceleration and shifts @7500RPM the clutch pedal would give off a metallic ringing sound. In addition, on long drives over 1 hour in length, with my foot on the dead pedal, I would get a numb sensation in my foot!

Contact you service dept.

PS: I love the service at my dealer and the help from Honda! I think I will bring them a 12-Pack!

well i hardly ever feel any vibration, but i do hear a ringing sound about 6000 RPM, which gets
steadily worse all the way up to redline. this happens almost everytime i Vtec.
could this be caused by the TSB you mentioned? thx.

Honestly,

I believe it is related to engine harmonics.

I have no doubt that some folks have a genuine issue with this sort of vibration but on the most part, like "SkipX" says, it's a normal thing. After all your clutch is indirectly connected to a whole bunch of moving parts, gears spinning around. This is not a luxury, highly padded, sound deadened car so what do you expect?

Skipx, my foot gets that numb feeling also. Did the TSB do anything for this? I heard this was for noise, and do not have any noises from my clutch.
