Deceleration "buzz"
#11
I am not a mechanic, however your issues to my mind point toward a clutch disc that's toast. Broken and/or loose clutch disc springs causing the buzz, and engaging the clutch unevenly which is what you'd feel via the clutch pedal as a pulse/vibration.

if the slight pedal vibration is related to something minor like loose clutch springs, then I really have nothing to worry about. I can easily live with the buzzing sound and slight pedal vibration until the time comes to replace the clutch.

Grinding on depressed clutch is usually associated with a bad throw-out-bearing, no?

I guess the only reason I became concerned and felt the need to start this thread, was because of the weird issue I had the other day when the car simply would not shift into reverse at start-up. I know these transmissions can feel notchy when cold...but this was different...this was like reverse gear had disappeared. No grinding or anything...just woud not go in.

You getting any buzzing noise on deceleration? Esp when using the engine-&-gearing to slow the car?

It's similar to the clutch buzz my MY00 made when I bought it at 58k miles. I initially assumed it was a loose heat shield somewhere. Once I understood it to the clutch buzz, I decided I'd just drive it as the clutch was otherwise just fine. Then one day I had trouble shifting - the clutch was no longer releasing fully. Turned out the metal around one of the springs failed. Lesson learned: you can ignore the buzz for a long time, but not forever.
