clutch shudder on cold engagement

[BlitZ]

my clutch shudder alittle on the very very first engagement after leaving car over night

what is it.. anyone else has this issue...

clutch is exedy sports organic

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

you're supposed to wear it in for the first 1000km. i could be wrong with the exact ammount of km, but its arround that much.

[BlitZ]

sorry to mention.. clutch is 8000 kms old.. just started happening

[EK4R]

dont quote me on this im just thinking from my experience.

i think its cos the way you drive. when the car is all warmed up and its easier for you to drive the car. i find it its easier for smoother shifts after awhile once the clutch is warmed up.

i get the same problem (same clutch) but i tend to rev just alil higher on first engagement in the morning and hold the clutch just a little bit longer.

yeah that works.. but its only the damn first engagement...

whats the cause of this... sometimes i wonder if my flywheels bolts have snapped hahaah

Still wouldn't explain the feeling through the pedal.

Could be build up of something on the friction plate?

[EK4R]

u running lightweight fly?

nah its not felt through the pedal.. the car jitters:thumbsup:

OEM oem

[EK4R]

think its normal nothing to worry about. you got a near new clutch thats bites alot harder than oem. just add some rev to reduce the extra friction its making due to the tighter bite. think i read somewhere, colder clutch bites harder than when their warm/hot.

[JasonGilholme]

the whole car but you can't feel anything in the pedal???

And it goes away once warm???

[EK4R]

i think he meant its like when you dont add enough gas and you engage the clutch. the car just shudders

[bennjamin]

flywheel probably wasnt resurfaced/properly , or your "wear in" wasnt considerable....lots of bunny hops or pulling seconds eh ?

[SLOWEGG]

Mine does this aswell in the early morning starts, afterwards its better. So i do what EK4R does, just give it more gas and ride it abit more.

Have the same clutch aswell but with a spoon flywheel.

man its normal dw abt it much .... my car had this problem...onli in the morning.... after it was fine...

Blitz ur paranoid :p

hehe

[BlitZ]

ahah nah man.. ive had it for sometime.. its good to see atleast 4 of us having the same problem wiht the same clutch..

and ben is probabaly right.. we proabably pull too many 2nds ahhaa

[Benson]

build up of rust.. haha

[SLOWEGG]

Sorry but im not a hoon :p

[DOHCVTEC]

same clutch, happens to me too,
its probably just the friction material
they sacrificed a little bit of cold clutch smoothness for temperature resistance maybe
its shudders a little bit every cold start

[ginganggooly]

Same clutch as me... it's always shuddered when cold.

that sounds like a descent explination.

yeah got the same prob also, its even worse in reverse in the morning, end up having to ride it and it smell.

My prob is that i have to reverse up a driveway in the morning. And yes after abit it seems to be fine. I had my flywheel machined also, i got an ITR flywheel.

Yeah i think its like high performance brake pads, need abit of heat to grip properly
