Two months ago replaced my clutch w/Kevins upgraded clutch kit
When i engage the first gear and depress the clutch pedal slowly to start move the car the engine shakes after depress clutch pedal all the way up its fine .same thing happens at the second gear but less shaking with low rpms
I thought that will happen for couple weeks and then will be fine
its been 2 months now and is still the same
there is any way we did something wrong when installed the clutch?
cause the rest of the gears when the car moving its fine.
what should i check?
Thank you in advance
Mind you before installed the new clutch everything was fine
Do you think is that slave cylinder?

 

did the installer crack opne the slave/master system? did he bleed it? if he didnt then its not the slave for sure. Aftermarket products just don't play the same way as stock...

 

If the face of the clutch has "pucks" instead being solid/smooth, you will get some chatter when starting from a stop and going in reverse. I have this in my car when going in reverse, so I've trained myself to slip the clutch very little, thus limiting the amount of chatter. BTW, by chatter, I'm not talking about noise, I'm talking about a shake/shutter. I've been told that since the face of my clutch has pucks, this is normal, and is a trade off of the heavy duty setup.

I'd ask Kevin what he thinks and if it's normal.

 

The ATS triple carbon does that in reverse too.... It seems that most high performance clutches have some side effects... but you get the holding power on the other end... so it's a wash the way I see it.

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

he did not do anything to slave just disconnect and connect.
it just shakes the car/engine. i hate that
if you rpms are 2-3k it doesnt do it that much is better
so i have te rev to 2-3k rpms to have less shaking!
i will call Kevin anyway,
Thank you Marski

 

mine is doing he same thing

 

It's chatter as the previous poster mentioned. Does the clutch look like this? If it's a puck style like the one posted below, it's coung to chatter when the clutch is released and it tries to grab........ I bet once you break it in, if you drop the clutch, it'll grab and jerk you forward....

 

BTW, can you post a link to the clutch kit you bought? Can't seem to find one anywhere.

 

Not sure which upgraded kit....sachs stage 2 GT3RS w/ LWFW? Mine has never done what you describe.

 

Again, yours is a full face clutch and should not chatter by nature. See the difference in the two? Here's the Sachs kit:

 

Uh...here is a pic of my kit



Thanks for playing...this is the UMW GT3RS Sachs clutch package...not from vivid....

 

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Look man, I'm just trying to help. No need for attitude. Does not really matter where the kit is from no does it. Just trying to show the difference between a full face and puck style clutch face. Which BTW you can't tell from the picture you posted.........

 

Hi, First I would re-check all the tranny mounting hardware as well as the rubber in the tranny mount. After that is squared away then I would look at the clutch. Tim
PS PM sent!

 

Look on the box cover. This is the same kit as the OP...I live in Boulder...how's that for altitude?
