MARC MOSS Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 That or crank seal dude, there may be a little oil getting on the plate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Worth putting a new clutch on, If its an oil seal you'll notice it all round the bottom of the box.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Aye thats a common fault caused by a worn clutch. Id say that or a duff gearbox mount but that would more than likely make a knocking noise also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 i had the same problem with my na, was the clutch now a new one is fitted its solved the problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

180bhp/209lb Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I've just recieved the clutch but I'v been told by the previous owner that it has exceedy organic clutch, I spoke to my mechanic and he's told me that theres 500 mile bedding in period on these clutches... Has any 1 heard this before? Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 There's a bedding in period with any new clutch, just take it steady till it's taken to the shape of your flywheel.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
180bhp/209lb Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ok, so could the juddering just be a normal thing then? it just feels like the friction plate isn't touching evenly :/ Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Just like brake pads, it needs to form to the shape of the flywheel. What was the surface like when you fitted the new clutch?Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
180bhp/209lb Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 the old owner had fitted the clutch...i guess ill just drive it for abit and see what happens hopfuly it beds in if not ill just bang the new 1 incheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If you do end up fitting the new cluch take a look at the flywheel it might be warped!. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 In my experience all organic/ paddle clutches seem to give a bit of judder unless you absolutely launch it, if it's only minor I'd say it's just to do with the clutch mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
