Default s2000 vibration

have a 2001 s2000 with 71,000 miles, car has never been wrecked or damaged. it has a vibration throughout the car when you let up on the acelerator, barely touch the acelerator and it goes away instantly. It is more pronounced below 45 MPH, the slower you get the more it vibrates, it feels like an exhaust pipe rubbing the car but the exhaust is perfect, very tight, no rattles at all, not touching anything, we have checked all mounts, all apear to be good and solid, all CV joints on the axles and drive shaft appear to be very good with no movement at all in either of them, All exhaust shields are tight with no rattles, the car makes no noise at all when accelerating or at crusing speed, but just as soon as you lift the throttle it vibrates rather loud. Clutch is smooth and tight, tranmission shifts great shifter is tight. We've checked all Mitchell sites and other sites for this problem and have not been able to find anything regarding a vibration except for acceleration, this is just the opposite. any help would be greatly appreciated.

if the clutch was vibrating as bad as this is, I would think it would have come through the cowl by now.

with my new clutch I have vibration when engine braking below 3000 rpm. accelerating between idle and 2500 rpm gives vibration too. it's annoying but it's not worth obsessing over since I have to run this clutch to hold the power I'm looking to run
