Ever since I bought the car there seems to have a problem with the first gear, gear change.To try and explain it, if you're driving in first gear and take your foot off the accelerator peddle (while the car is still rolling) and push the clutch peddle in there is some kind of shuddering loud noise. This becomes extremely evident and annoying when looking for a car park at low speeds.However I can drive around this problem by applying a slight amount of throttle as I push the clutch in and there will not be any noise/knock/shudder etc.Any help would be appreciated.

They feel like crap and get allot of backlash. Once you get used to driving it, it you learn to control it a bit. It will be a lot worse if the diff bushes are shagged. I took mine back to ford the day after I bought it with the same complaint. Just got told that's how they are, and heard the same from other manual owners.Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there must be a solution. KPM here in SA said that it was due to the single mass flywheel??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this perspective the BA wa smuch more refined. I'll be looking at whether the bushes need replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has got an Extreme HD Clutch with the usual goodies, tuned to 320rwkw. I am unable to make this car shudder/ backlash or whatever. Just seems like a "normal manual" like a how they should be??? Why why why is this?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway you can drive around a car park all day in first gear, looking for a park without a hint of shudder. When the clutch is pressed in. Everything disengages and the driveline rolls free, NO backlash/shudder sensation. Edited 16/10/11 09:54 AM by 601Turbz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard spigot bearing fitted has loose needle rollers, which can "pick up" in the input. All our clutch kits come with a sealed spigot bearing.

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 12y 7m 27d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 18/11/11 12:16 PM Share Posted 18/11/11 12:16 PM Yeah just to add my two bobs I have the problem.. Shagged diff bush seemed to make it worse. But as 234FPV said you will learn to control it by slightly adjusting your driving style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
