randal 0 Posted May 25, 2004 I've been noticing a juddering when pulling away in 1st recently, there's enough throttle but it still does it. Is this the beginnings of a knackered slave cyl? I checked the top the gearbox, and there isn't any fluid or anything. Any suggestions y'all? Thanks in advance randal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted May 25, 2004 well when my slave cyl went the simptoms i had was that u had to press the clucth pedal a few time before you could engage or disengage :( The only way to tell if its leaking is to take the cyl ou with the two screews on wither side and check otherwise its very hard to tell :( and on mine it was so bad that ive had to take the gearbox off to clean the inside out as the realise bearing was starting to stick due to all the crap in there :( just my 2p' worth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randal 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Ah pants, don't fancy dropping the gearbox out. How much of a job is removing the slave cyl? I guess the system needs a good bleeding obviously,but after that is it just a case of unblot/bolt ? Cheers randal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 25, 2004 Juddering is down to a knackered clutch or engine mount/s, nowt to do with the slave unfortunately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Judder is usually more to do with the clutch or engine mounts, I think. Or at least, my VR was juddering very slightly (and has done ever since I got it), which has been removed completely by fitting a new clutch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randal 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Think the clutch itself is OK, but mounts eh? Hmmm..... Wait a minute Kev, this isn't leading up to a sales speech is it?? :lol :lol: :lol: OK, have to bang them on the list for when it floats down to JMR... Yay. Cheers for the tips all.

G60Dan 0 Posted May 25, 2004 I had this juddering just before my clutch went :( the slave cyinder had already been replaced on mine too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get a crunch sound a few seconds after pulling away, if the car's been stood a few hours or even only 15 minutes!, sounds like something sticking then releasing, release bearing maybe? Recently replaced a leaky slave cylinder too. Cheers Pal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Restarted the car last night on the way home, and sure enough it did it again when pulling away. Nobody else was sure what the noise was either! It is an annoying noise though, not very cool when pulling out of the pub car park ;) but at least I can stop worrying about it :) Checked my Jan '92 Manual again and there is no mention of this noise in the ABS/braking section, maybe it was only added to the later manuals?

dr_mat 0 Posted May 27, 2004 Possibly, it's definitely there in my '95 manual. I can't remember which section it's in though. It shouldn't be very loud - certainly not really audible over the engine and stuff, it's just that you can feel it through the pedals when you're inside the car.

Andy T 0 Posted May 27, 2004 It is quite loud, very noticeable from inside of the car anyway, and thats even with a loud exhaust! Can feel it through the pedals slightly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 27, 2004 Mine makes a very faint moan as it jerks the pedal..... it's very quiet tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
