car judders when pulling away in first, recently changed the clutch without skimming flywheel, was fine for first few weeks, now judders a lot unless i drive it real gently for a few miles, but if i drive it hard, it judders again.

flywheel seemed ok at time, but read this could cause juddering.

IF i left it as it was would the juddering likely get any better or worse as time went on?


and i understand you can adjust the clutch cable? is this worth a try, if so how do you do it?

if i dont take the flywheel off and continue to drive it round, bearing in mind its still pretty new clutch, is the problem liekly to get worse or slightly better?

The flywheel I just removed from my sapphy is almost blue all over not just a spot, I had zero juddering, and a perfect clutch save for the rattling springs, AP clutch/BB.
Is the cable 100% free ?, on the cossies the cable has a teflon inner that tears and jams up the cable so it releases in spits and spurts, causes juddering, just a thought.
Did you us a new pressure plate/diaphragm ?

Did you bed it in to the new clutch? It may not be too late, launch the life out of it straight away, drag it with high revs, mine don't judder since doing this

yea i used a new 3 piece clutch kit. i didnt do anything special to bed it in, jsut fitted it, and started driving pretty normal from the off ...

How best do i want to bed it in, high revs and sidestep the clutch? is only once or twice a good idea? dont want to over do it.

... jsut want to check could launching make it worse, what effect exactly does launching have on the clutch/flywheel?



... will also have a look at the clutch cable. ill get an assistant to keep pushing pedal up and down, and illl see if it looks like it jerks when it re-engages.
