4.3 roadster sportshift judder - help?!

[MarlonM]

Guys

I have recently moved from a 4.3 coupe sport shift to a 4.3 roadster sport shift, and annoyingly my new car has a fault my previous car did not, when taking off in first gear the car 'judders', shakes and feels like its going to stall. It's fine at all other speeds, apart from low speeds. This makes driving in traffic quite difficult.

The car has done just 11k, and I am fearful that I am going to need a new clutch, I don't have an AM warranty, not sure that would be covered anyway?

Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks!!

Sounds to me you need to perform a clutch learn.

Hopefully the clutch learn will work! My old car had done a lot more miles and was used far more often. Is it possible the newer car that isn't used often has just forgotten the correct setting?!

Cheers!

You will need to do it more than once.
I found 2-3 times first off and then once each time you drive it.

I do the clutch learn every time in my MY09 V8VR but am finding it hard to hear the 'audible clunk'. Can anybody describe how audible it is please. I have the AC off, the fan off and the radio off so, other than the gorgeous V8 soundtrack, there is no other distraction.

ps I'm not old enough yet to have started losing my hearing!
