I can drive the car almost all the time without the stuttering clutch, but it takes a bit of timing and skill. So much skill, in fact, that it has to be a problem with the car. This chattering began only in 2nd and seems to have affected all gears. -----Original Message----- From: David Teitelbaum [mailto:jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 1:03 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Re: Stuttering clutch It really doesn't matter exactly what is wrong inside. The only way you are going to fix it is to take it apart and that means removing the transmission. Once you have it out the cause will be very apparant. Of course I am assuming you are shifting correctly. You can cause a vibration if you are shifting too early into too high a gear. Before tearing the clutch out try varying your shift technique. Stay in your gears a little longer before shifting, Maybe that will help.
