I have an '04 Performance 6MT that has recently started doing something odd. Whenever I come off the clutch in first gear from a stop, the car sort of shudders a bit. It is not a smooth transition coming off of the clutch. It used to be. Anyone have any idea what this may be?

 

sounds like a glazed flywheel and/or presurre plate.

 

Speaking of CLUTCH problems the transistion between first and second in my 03 is a bit rough - the only time it's smooth is at low RMP's

 

^^^ I had that problem.... took it in, service guy drove it .... " I DONT SEE/HEAR/FEEL ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT"


Go figure!!

 

Thanks for the replies. I have made an appointment for the dealer to check it out on Monday.
