1996 fiesta diesel misfire new exhaust

[moxy2005]

hi all,

need a bit of advice, I had a new mid section and back box put on my fiesta 3 days ago and since then it has developed a misfire/judder in 2nd gear, I was panicing it was the clutch so I tried setting off with high reves with handbrake on in forth and stalled, is this a good sign?

Is it the new exhaust maybe? or the dreaded clutch?

Your description is very vague.

It is almost impossible to have a misfire in a single gear. And a judder when ?

Are you trying to take off in 2nd gear ? When changing gear ? when trying to drive in that gear ?

Your clutch test may prove it has plenty of bite left, but that has nothing to do with a misfire. A better description of the problem is needed.

hi so when I am driving I change down to second gear when moving slowly and then when I accelate back up it loses power and judders a bit.

most if not all diesels will do this if your revs are too low when you try to accelerate away again, in any gear.
