Clutch Shudder
Indicator:
Clutch Shudder
Effect:
The vehicle has a severe shudder on take-off or/and between gear changes
Cause:
1. If a new clutch has been fitted the flywheel must have been machined-If it has not, then this may cause the shudder (please note: flywheels which are not machined may affect the clutch warranty)
2. Incorrect flywheel machining (i.e machined on a lathe)
3. The clutch disc may have oil/grease contamination
4. Engine and/or gearbox mounts are worn or damaged
5. Incorrect bedding in procedure
Action:
1. Check engine and gearbox mounts-repair or replace as necessary
2. Check for any engine or gearbox oil leaks that can impact on the clutch (rear main seal, rocker cover or front gearbox seal)-repair as necessary
3. All new clutch components must be in service for a minimum of 1,000 kilometres of normal driving for efficient bedding in.
