Another M6 clutch/gearbox issue - new owner!
Discussion
Hi folks
I know there are roughly a metric ton of these threads on here but I think I must have read every single one and I'm still not 100% sure on a few things.
Picked up the car last friday and LOVE IT. Wanted one for a long time after getting it handed to me in my RS4 by an M5 driving mate. Its so fast its not funny, proper bit of kit. However, all is not wonderful in clutch land. Once up to temperature it starts juddering in a major way, to the point where tonight its shaking like the proverbial bobbing dog. For some unknown reason it also wants to set off in second when in D. Give it the beans down the local dual carriageway, there's a pretty major 'shunt' on the down change, but it seems pretty delayed and somewhat out of sink with the throttle 'blip' if that makes sense.
The judder is most pronounced in first setting off from a standstill, the shunt thing on the down change only started happening tonight. Any ideas? Car has done 61k, no mention of clutch change or the like in the history.
If its the clutch/flywheel/release bearing issue, assuming I can buy the parts and have a local indy fit them? If so, anyone know of a decent Indy in the Kent/East Sussex area?

Hi
You could well be right, although I'm not sure the juddering from stand still is due to the TC as I'm barely feathering the throttle? Seems to pull better if I give it some more beans, however its still juddering quite severely.
Downshifts - foot is off the throttle (from memory), will try it again tonight to make sure. I've got no warning lights on the dash though, if that makes any difference?
