Would be great to hold a "diesel vibration experience" weekend. I've lost the plot
I had this on my FD just before it's 5th birthday (5 years ago). 1800-2000rpm rattle/vibration only in 4th/5th/6th.IIRC they replaced the flywheel and the noise remained.They then replaced the clutch and all was good.I seem to recall they believed it was an issue with springs in the clutch.
@nzenigma With respect Gary, a tiny little lead weight can stop a wheel and tyre vibrating, so maybe your theory is crap. Just saying..

Same as me! Unfortunately, 3rd floor with the best views is full of nutters from Facebook; aka "the echo chamber".

And we are asked to believe that this can cause the whole car to vibrate.
Between the two parts of the flywheel there is a flexible coupling, which I presume contains springs and dampening material.

For those genuinely interested, the following link explains the role of the clutch damper assembly, and how it eliminates vibrations passing from the engine to the drive-train when the clutch is engaged.
After a little further reading and googling I am now firmly of the opinion it is NOT my loose clutch springs themselves vibrating, but instead believe they are the cause other vibrations being noticeable.
A dual-mass flywheel, by definition, consists of two masses. A flywheel which is made of one solid disc of steel is not a dual-mass flywheel, it's just a flywheel. Clutch plates also contain springs between the outer friction disc and inner splined hub which provide some torsional elasticity.
I stand pleasantly corrected.
