I've noticed a moderate shudder when releasing the clutch ONLY when taking off from a stop. If I baby it I can prevent the shudder. Here's what I think:
1. Pressure plate slightly warped/in need of resurfacing or 2. Motor/tranny mounts bad What would you guys think generally? I know the mounts are easy to check, and I will do that tonight, just wondering if there might be another issue I am not thinking of. I don't really have any other symptoms of a bad clutch other than it needs to be adjusted. It seems to fully engage and I have no grinding at all. Thanks, Chris H. |

How muich of a shudder? I was having this problem, and it turned out to be a leaking mainshaft seal at the rear of the engine. It would drip oil into the clutch housing, and the clutch disc eventually started to soak up some of the oil. When I would release the clutch a little bit faster than normal then I would get a shudder. Required just a little bit more gas then normal and I wouldn't even notice it. Finally gave in and replaced my clutch and it hasn't happened since. Just a thought, I could be terribly wrong.
