Hey all! I need your expertise!:hmmmm2:
I just had my local shop install a new flywheel, clutch and throwout nearing (all upgrades from URD). I was experiencing what I thought was the beginnings of a failing TB. While at a stop, and engaging the clutch in first gear, there was a slight shudder.
Well, with the new parts installed, the shudder is only more pronounced! I only experience the shudder while accelerating at a slow to regular rate and it stops as soon as the clutch is fully engaged and moving over ~2-4mph. The same shudder happens in 1st and reverse. If I quickly engage the clutch and give it a little more gas I can not feel it. (it is probably still happening but it's so fast I can't tell)
I did a little "light" experimenting due to the fact the clutch is still in the break in period. I set the parking break and only partially engaged the clutch, while in 1st, so that the RPM's dropped just slightly. No shudder. I did the same with it in reverse. No shudder.
It only happens while transitioning from a stop at slow to regular rate. My little experiment tells me it's not the clutch/flywheel/TB. What the heck should I be looking for? Although I do drive like a grandpa sometimes, I don't think I'm letting the RPM's dip to low.
Any tips on where I should be looking would be much appreciated!:idea:
PS: I installed some Short Tubes today too and LOVE the sound. The CATs keep the volume way down and it sounds very "tuned" now. :top:
