adammitch69 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 morning guys, noticed over the past week that at low-ish speeds in 4th or 5th my car is juddering slightly, not side to side or through the wheel but more like I am feathering the accelerating/brake. It doesnt feel like its stalling or like I am trying to set off in 6th - but there is definatley something going on that feels odd. anyone had similar experince?? regards Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adammitch69 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 forgive my ignorance - what do you mean by 'labouring'? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Labouring refers to when an engine is struggling to pull, ususally because it's in too high a gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Basically, you shouldn't be in 4th or 5th gear when only doing 20 - 40mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adammitch69 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 You can do 30mph in 4th perfectly well when your on the M62 in the traffic. Tried it again today and it happens in any gear (when accelerating) when I hit just over 25. My warranty runs out in 4 months so going to book it in an Halfiax Nissan and see what they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 You didn't state that the problem occurs in all gears in your original post, just in higher gears. You should get it checked out as to produce juddering at 25 mph in low gears doesn't sound right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
