Clutch help???

[Mike HSV]

Hi Guys, just after some advice, started to get some clutch judder on the Clubbie last couple of days, does this mean the clutch is on the way out as it behaves perfectly normally otherwise, no slippage at all. It only does it on initial pull away, not during gear change.
Any advice welcome

Mike, judder won't normally be caused by the clutch being worn out. Difficult to say without seeing the car, but other things to check are gearbox rubber mount, prop centre bearing rubber, propshaft rubber donut and engine mounts. If these have gone soft (oil contamination) or are split etc, this may give you clutch judder. It is possible that the flywheel or clutch driven plate are damaged. Have you overheated your clutch lately?

Hope this helps.

For what its worth, thrust bearings could be the route cause
