General: 850: - Clutch judder - cured

Moose850 · Nov 26th, 2019, 18:51

Does anyone have the symptoms of clutch judder but know the clutch and flywheel are fine and just cannot get to the bottom of it?

Are you sure the clutch plate and flywheel are fine ??
No oil leaking from crankshaft seal? Pressure plate, release bearing all okay?
These are usual causes of judder...

Yes, they are fine, the reason for doing the job in the first place was because the main oil seal was a bit leaky.

The reason I asked is because after 10 years of thinking I would just have to live with the judder unless I wanted to remove everything again and double check, I inadvertently cured the judder with a few drops of oil. I was wondering if anyone else was in the same predicament.

So where did you apply the drops of oil??
There was a thread recently about a vibration in the clutch as it takes up drive which a number of people had experienced, just wondering if this might be related and similarly cured?

Hello Dave,

Can you let me know where that thread is and I will explain what I did and hopefully it may help someone. Vibration is exactly the right description although mine got slightly worse and was more accurately described as judder.

This thread, was a bit longer ago than I thought

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Don't think it's the same problem. Mine was definitely just like good old fashioned clutch judder.

So how did you address yours with a few drops of oil?
