Engine Judder

[ryan lang]

after ive been out on a long drive and i stop for lights or roundabout etc. the engine judders like mad when pulling off, would i need to change my engine mount bushes or is this a bit more serious? its only after a really long drive, an hours driving at least, i find its cured with a bit more gas, but shud it be juddering violently in the 1st place? any help will do people

edit: maybe violently was a strong word but quite badly will do

What youve described sounds exactly like clutch judder. Like you said when the clutch gets warm i.e after youve been driving it, it will judder on pulling away (feels horrible)

Clutch juddder is normally caused by either, Mis-aligned clutch, Clutch wear (friction plate, broken 'finger' springs etc), Condensation on the flywheel (which normally happens on colder nights) and also contamination i.e leaking from the seal.

In most cases your probably find its just the clutch that is worn. But when replacing the clutch, make sure you check the condition of the flywheel as it could have high spots where its warped slightly from getting hot and stopping the clutch from engaging properly?

Hope this helps

Ive heard of a few people have had there starlet suffering from clutch judder, but its simple to change a clutch on one of these. If your mechanically minded that is.

I've got a brand new clutch in mine, and i had clutch judder for about 200 miles and it's sorted its self out now. I think it was "running in".

hmmm, think im gunna hold out for a while and get an uprated clutch then because i have plans to go turbo in the future, so would an uprated glanza clutch work in an n/a until i can go turbo?
