I also have experienced the weird resonance/vibration noise that seems to be coming from behind the dash around 3k-3500 rpm (usually in 3rd gear). I've actually hit the dash thinking I could knock something in/out of place. I have only noticed this happening when the vehicle has been running for a long time. Think couple hours of driving or more. I have not had this happen on any around town trips. My thought was maybe something gets really warm and loosens up behind the dash? No idea but it's only been noticed on road trips or long drives...odd.

I know this post was from 4 years ago, but I found the rattle/vibration yesterday while driving home from work!

Believe it or not, it's in the clutch pedal assembly. I've been having this issue intermittently since I got my JT in August 2025. Even the dealer said they could put "electronic ears" on the frame to find out the cause, but between weather/making it happen consistently, that wasn't working out.
- When I slightly put pressure on the clutch pedal when that rattle/vibration happens, I mean just enough to feel the pedal, and BOOM it's gone!

I'll need to verify what item/part exactly is causing it at the clutch pedal, but at least now people have a great place to start!
