elsmore Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I recently purchased my Z, and it has developed a judder when pulling away. The judder is more pronounced when pulling away up a gradient. Has the clutch gone? It's difficult to judge how far the clutch peddle should be travelling, as I haven't had the car for long. Cheers Quote

Like when do you start diss-engage the clutch pedal... Quote
Darren-B Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Probably a hot spot on the clutch or flywheel, been giving it some beans slipping the clutch? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Clutch judder could be caused by numerous issues, one being a worn clutch or it may just require a good burn/bed in. If required, new clutch kits can be found here. viewtopic.php?f=157&t=27436 Alex. Quote
elsmore Posted October 27, 2010 Author Posted October 27, 2010 Pulling away around 1k revs it's ok, around 1.5k - 2k revs it judders, over 2k it seems ok. Haha - I try not to slip the clutch! Those replacements don't seem too expensive. Any idea what it might cost to get one fitted? It's outside my skillset, shall we say... Quote

I paid about £200 in the SE to have clutch & flywheel fitted, both from Alex Quote
andlid Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 mine does the same think its the flywheel nothing on the clutch sicne it's not slipping at all... a guess is that it's not balanced.. but not sure.. Quote

Interesting... I can pull away in 4th and I haven't noticed any other symptoms, so maybe you're on the right track. Quote
zao Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Pulling away around 1k revs it's ok, around 1.5k - 2k revs it judders, over 2k it seems ok. Elsmore - did you get to the bottom of this problem? I have recently noticed my clutch doing this. I've got a 2007 313bhp model with 25,000 miles. Did you have to replace the clutch and flywheel? Quote
