Weird clutch sensation..

Red370 · 09-17-2009, 11:08 AM

I havent come across this before, so I figure someone else might have an idea what it is. Recently I've noticed that when I start off letting the clutch out slowly and going into 1st, theres a slight, minute, thump on the clutch pedal. Nothing crazy and the car doesnt react differently, it almost feels like a small notch, catching on something, its hard to describe. Any ideas?

well I dont think its an issue per se, but its almost like it tries to reset or calibrate itself or something, kinda like some Anti-lock braking systems do. Just thought it was strange. Anyone wanna shed some light on this?
