Juddery Clutch

6spd · 08-13-2013, 03:05 PM

Its the nature of the car. I grew to despise it so I got an auto and never looked back lol

Its also temperamental, picking and choosing what days to shudder and when not to.

Um, no. Not all cars experience this shudder. Maybe some folks are overheating the clutch causing the shudder?

I think it is fair to say a lot are. It happens all the time under any number of driving conditions.

The shatter is becouse u cant drive, that sad change ur tranny oil to redline n wrap the exhaust pipes n clutch line near exhaust pies to eliminate oil overheating and smooth thinng out, after all of this rev to 1500rpm and let go of the clutch hold it at the engagement point for like half a sec so that engine n tranny are in sync then let go of clutch, practice its makes it perfect

You actually made it all the way through that horrific run on sentence, complete with horrendous spelling and grammar? You're a more patient man than I am.

I got about halfway through it and then got sidetracked searching my car for the "exhaust pies". I'm still looking. I hope they're cherry. I like cherry.

There is thread after thread of people who would attest that its just the way the Z is. Some are fortunate enough for it to not happen to them. This topic was exhausted long ago.

That can't be interpreted as most Z's ever produced have a shudder from the clutch. The clunk is most likely inherent but clutch shudder is either signs of overheating, worn parts, misalignment or whatever e.g. lack of experience or improper engagement of the clutch. My vette now has a shudder because I just installed a Center Force DFX ceramic pad clutch. CF even advises its customers that the shudder is possible after install so it was no surprise to me. I can eliminate it if I release the clutch at higher revs. Some have already stated this for the Z. Maybe folks aren't releasing their clutches at a high enough rpm? Yes, they are out there and then come here and complain. But that doesn't mean all or most Z's have a clutch problem as some would surmise.

Mine does this sometimes too. Makes you feel like you've made a mistake pulling away.
