Clutch Judder

[Greenbat 0]

Hello Guys,

 

I have got a clutch judder, particularly bad in traffic 1st and 2nd gears.

 

Does this mean the clutch is on the way out?

 

Any remedies for it apart from a clutch change?

 

Cheers

I bought my rado about a year ago and tried to negotiate some money off due to some clutch judder. The owner wouldn't budge and I bugeted to fit a new one.

 

13.5k later and it is still holding

It could be due to a broken engine/gearbox mount, or imperfections in the (normally smooth, flat) flywheel surface which you should check if you have a new clutch.

Could be input shaft bearing, its usually the case. But its a gear box strip job.

 

 

If your clutch isnt showing any sighns of slipping i'd say it was the input shaft bearing.

Greenbat, what car do you have?

Mine has a bit of judder pulling away from standstill in 1st but it tends to reduce once the car warms up.

Mine is a Mk2 Golf G60.

 

Is I think only happens when the car is hot.

When I bought my G60 the owner commented that there was some clutch judder. I took it for a test drive and it seemed to me more like dodgy engine mounts. Brought the car home, replaced all mounts and its fine ever since.

I had clutch judder from oil on the clutch. In my car's case it was the rear main oil seal. Check for oil leaks around the bell housing.

mine has clutch judder once in a while....with everyday use its fine, but if i park up for like a week in the winter when its all damp n horrible out..the first time i use the car it will judder for the first few junctions...i think maybe the friction plate is holding the damp and it drys out with a little heat from driving

 

its done that for 3-4 yrs and got no worse
