Does it mainly happen at about 3,000-4,500 revs? If so you might want to ask your dealer about the 055 clutch replacement under warranty. It solves the 'buzzing clutch' problem. If you have a warranty that is... if not, don't worry it's not fatal.

Just been for a spin and yep it happens around that RPM mark, I also drove normal and rested my foot on the clutch pedal and once it got to the RPM i could feel the vibration through the pedal....
I have an extended warrenty as the previous owner had the plugs and oil bolt done, would it be covered by that and what should i noe do... thanks in advance....

I'd check if you really do have full extended warranty on the whole car, or just the engine (as the oil bolt just extended the engine warranty IIRC). If it's just on the engine then you might want to consider extending the warranty - See posts by Neil_s2k - for

Got my car booked in on thurs to have the alloys looked at as they have the old corrosion prob, i'm gonna get the boys to take a look at the vibration prob as well, i think its the clutch thing, i've got an extended warrenty from the last owner as he had the plugs and oil bolt done, the cover does say that the engine is totally covered, do you think that it will be or should i wait till next jan once i have bought an extended warrenty from hoda and then have it done......i'm a bit confused about it all.....!!

The honda paperwork says that it is. Hondacare guarantee (HE1)

This sounds like it's definitely the 054 clutch problem - my first car had it and I know how annoying and loud it can be.

The bad news is that most dealers will not cover this on the extended warranty, and the clutch is around
