Hopefully someone may have some ideas, basically back last year had some issues with the car juddering and a really high pitch noise which was only getting worse, took it in to my garage they gave it a thorough look & it turns out the gearbox was knackered which was the noise but they couldn’t see why the car was juddering.
Can’t afford a new car & apart from this it’s been fine and I’ve had it less than 2 years so really didn’t want to go through the hassle of finding another car on my budget, so opted for a reconditioned gearbox which was fitted in about November which has been fine and I didn’t notice anymore of the juddering until about 2 weeks ago when it seems to have started up again.
The car has been fully serviced, it’s just passed the mot last month. I can’t seem to see any pattern of the juddering it’s not in any specific gear but I haven’t really felt it at low speeds say under 20mph.
Any ideas please? I’m terrified it’s the gearbox again but surely I can’t be that unlucky?!!!!

See if you can find a pattern to the juddering. Does it vary with road speed, engine speed, engine torque, temperature? Does it depend on whether the clutch is slipping?
