steveo29 0 Posted October 26, 2003 my clutch gives a little judder ,only after its been standing outside in damp weather ..and only on the first one or two pull aways it doesnt do it when its being driven dailey or in the summer anybody experiance this..im assuming the lining just gets damp on it? ..btw no oil leaks etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted October 26, 2003 Is your gearbox inspection bung missing? There's a bung on the top of the gearbox that you use for seeing the timing marks on the flywheel... If this is missing you could have moisture getting on to your clutch which may cause this problem... It's worth checking anyway... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spykee 0 Posted November 7, 2003 steveo, dont know if its any help but have got a mk7 Escort :oops: and had an old mk4 :oops: :oops: and had the exact same prob with the two of them. with the escorts it the thrust bearing thats worn and judders on pulling off but not all the time, generally when its cold and damp.... which is most the time here in Wales! clutch makes a creaking noise sometimes as well. same story tho, no probs in summer or when driven regularly, its only when parked up for a bit! saying that fords are crap and not really comparable to the c. don't knw much bout rado clutches cos mines had a new one bout 40k Kms back as bought the car with a slipping one! :wink: Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted November 7, 2003 spose it could be that...i think i'll leave it till it gets worse or slips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spykee 0 Posted November 7, 2003 thats the approach that i have taken. my old mk4 escort did it from the day that i had it with approx 105k on the clock. sold it with 133k, it was still doing it but never went in nearly 30k. if it aint broke don't fix it!

steveo29 0 Posted November 7, 2003 i dont fancy doing a clutch on a g60...looks like agro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spykee 0 Posted November 7, 2003 yeah it is, so i have heard. mine was done by a chap while i had the car in Dubai.... but thats not much help to you! if you havn't got VAGFSH get the clutch from a motorfactors its about 100 ish quid for the whole lot and then find someone to do it for you. you have to drop the whole box to sort it. they broke the speedo sender unit on mine tho at some point so i ended up having to drive round for a couple of weeks without a speedo cos the part had to be shipped to the VW dealer in Dubai first! obviously the gargage paid for that! good job the police there dont care bout speeding!
