new clutch - Uber-Judder - Fixed!

[darkcat]

so the last month ive been driving with what i could only call painful, damaging ultra-judder under light to medium clutch use (i.e taking off normally, and car park manuvering etc)
i had a new clutch in about 200 miles ago.

so as a last attempt to sort it, i decided ok, smoke it.


seriously smoked the bugger twice and its fine now!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get that too. I tried to smoke the arse off it and it fixed it for a while. But it's come back now, so I'm going to try to bleed it now.

Bleeding won't help a juddering clutch.

A new one will unfortunately.

It's already new, only put in about 600 miles ago. Clutch pedal is a bit squelchy though, it must help it surely?

worth a go...! only a 5 minute job.

Try simply putting the car in a higher gear (4 or 5th) and just keep slipping the clutch as you try and pull away for 10 to 20 seconds. You dont need to "smoke it"
