Occasional Clutch pedal vibration

fisherg

I know the 370's clutch has been discussed at length in the forum but I haven't seen any comments on this question. Does anyone experience a slight clutch pedal pulsing sensation or vibration when engaging the clutch and starting off in 1st gear? Depending on how I engage the clutch once and a while I experience this. When engaging and accellerating hard it does not happen but once and a while if engage slowly it happens as the car starts moving. Any comments are appreciated.

Has anyone experienced this? This shudder when starting out in 1st can get annoying. I am taking my Z into the dealer later this week to have this problem checked out and another clutch issue that has just started. The clutch pedal clicks or pops slightly near the top of it's travel when released. It just started at about 1200 miles. Some have commented on it maybe being the master clutch cylinder.

I taking a 4,000 mile trip at the end of the month and I want to resolve these issues before I leave.

Any comments? Thanks..

Shudder when starting off in first gear is usually caused by some uneven deposits on the face of the clutch disc such as what happens when you slightly burn the clutch. Usually gets a little better with time as it wears normally.

Yep...clutch shudder at the get-go( most likely from deliverly demons). Seams to get better with age..like a fine wine.
