Default Brief vibration/hum noted while driving. I can feel it in the brake or clutch pedal. No abs light

on but the sound/vibration is similar to what I feel when the ABS is activated. The sound comes on at random. Early 01 with 44K miles. Any thoughts as to the cause? TIA

Default Can you feel it more intensely in the clutch pedal when you're engaging/disengaging

the clutch? If so, I'd say it's a bad clutch.

Default i believe i have...

the same vibration/hum you describe. it happens at random and it often happens when i slow down on a rough road or railroad tracks by my house. i have taken the car to the dealer 4 times total for different reasons, always mention about the hum/vibration but never seem to fix it. they have changed pretty much every suspension part execpt shocks/springs, but the noise is still there. I have pretty much given up, hopefully something breaks/wears out before warranty runs out.

Default I can hear a faint click when I step on the clutch but I believe that this is normal. The humming

will sometimes occur just after re-engaging the clutch but it often occurs at random. At times it occurs after hitting a bump but not always. BTW I have no clutch slippage.
