1st Gear "Judder"
Avoneer - 3/10/04 at 03:12 PM

Anyone else experienced some "judder" when setting off in 1st gear. Only noticed it a few times when the car has been running a while and especially at Elvington yesterday when the car was "on fire". Northy mentioned it was because the clutch was hot.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers,

Could be oil on clutch , this would cause clutch judder, if the problem persist's try pulling off in 2nd or maybe 3rd gear . This will cause the clutch to slip, get hot and hopefully burn off any oil . If this cures fault for a while you could have a rear main or possibly gearboxfront oil seal leaking. Hope this helps .

It'll wear itself flat again.

Will give that a go. Did have a leak from the bell housing at one point...

Sounds spot on , Pete

My road car does this after a long hard run, back to normal when driving locally
