Engine Judder

[turbolover]

Hey guys,
Whenever i'm reversing or on first gear but pressing and depressing the clutch it feels as though the engine is juddering or gearbox. Well it's like this. You are reversing but going slowly because of a bump behind you so you press and depress the clutch and accelerate slowly. Then there is this judder. Kinda of bad that the engine is rocking or probably the gearbox. Any ideas? Could it be the engine mounting? Clutch? It does not happen is I on other gears. Sometimes when that happens i just slot into second gear(straining the gears) and the problem disappears. Hope you guys have experienced this before and found a way to correct this.

are u using 3/4/6 puck clutch?
suspect your gbox mounting.....or could be the clutch bearing.

I'm kinda noob although I have been driving turbo cars for like a few years already. It's on a Exedy racing clutch but not sure how many puck. I didn't ask the owner. Should I?

should be 3puck.......if not mistaken.....thats always the common problem with racing clutches....

Hmmm maybe that's the problem? Hopefully and nothing serious. Yes, xtremeleo is really helpful. I pm him a dozen of questions and all was answered. Well if he does not come across this thread then I will pm him.

yup hopefully nothing serious.....
check your mountings 1st, especially the gbox ones.
if everything ok should be the clutch.

Could it be the clutch that is worn out or it's just basically the poor design of the clutch that causes judder. 1st gear off the lights no problem. Only in slow moving traffic or start stop moving only.

Faulty clutch or worn out clutch?

 

[mitsu4G]

if faulty clutch i think u cant even drive yr car edy..its worn out i guess..

 

[DanzEterna]

just wondering, wat are the symthoms of faulty clutch?
only know bout worn out clutch, your rpm will spike when u accelerate hard, it loses grip edi.

 

[mitsu4G]

faulty clutch for me is when u step on the clutch pedal..not even full step, it wil make like 'grinding sound'..n its very very hard to engage to any gears..happened to me with my twin plate before until my mech have to take the car from my house n drive it to his w/shop only using 2nd gear all the way..real bad..

Hmmm seems like I have to bring to an expert. My clutch does not seem to slip.

i think the clutch bearing already mkn badly.......grinding sound normally if u using racing clutches that have screws at the end of the pads.....once the pad habis edi, then will makan the screw......
like works...that time u may need to skim your flywheel.

but exedy ones dun have....they glue it down to the plate.

Glue it down? Can hold ah with the friction and heat generated from the clutch plates? Aiyo mine don't have such symptoms don't know how la.

 

[DanzEterna]

if u look at exedy clutch, got no screws, unlike ogura,trinity,works all have screws.....
so i guess they glue the pads for exedy.....

 

[turbolover]

Yup have seen it before but it did not occur to me it was glued. Those bloody epoxy sold in the hardware shop can't even stand heat. My mech once used epoxy to seal my automatic gear box which was crack though. But that one hold up pretty well. Not sure whether the gearbox at that part was hot or not. Maybe the one I bought was imitation. Hehe.

The thing is not whether can control or not. The more I prod the accelerator the worst the judder eventhough I have not release the clutch fully. Off from traffic light whether launching or normal release clutch no problem. Problem only happens when I release clutch then press clutch then depress I will feel the judder.
Will worn out clutch plate have this symptom?
