I am just a bit dissapointed because when I drove away from the dealer I felt a shutter come through the clutch peddal.It only happens on low rev takeoff and particularly in reverse parking situations. The dealer told me that it should settle itself down after a while. Has anyone else had a simmilar problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tempted to put the boot into it but I will play it safe and run it in first. Maybe one good takeoff will elliminate my clutch problem.

Welcome to the nut house! You will have to ignore the Automatic drivers twitch that some of these auto loving automatic pilot driven cars get when someone mentions a clutch or gear stick!!any how back to the clutch shudder!I have had 3 BA XR6 manuals and none have had clutch shudder! the dealer is feeding you a line about the shudder going away! In my opnion it will only get worse! I have had a gearbox that wouldn't shift into 3rd from 5th that I was told was normal but it wasn't! and the current car has developed a sticking gear when hot from 3rd today! not good but I would never have an auto!

I will beleive it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
