jaycey001 0 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi I have recently acquired a p reg sportrak with around 120k on the clock, It drives great and i am very happy with it, However when moving away in first gear there is some bad vibrating and the whole truck shakes. It can be managed by giving it more gas and being very gentle with the clutch, however this isnt great in heavy traffic! This doesn't happen in any other gear and reverse works fine with no juddering. Does this sound like i need a new clutch? is there anyway of checking the clutch or testing it? Thanks for any comments, Im very happy with the car, had a kia sportage for a few weeks and got rid quick, it drank fuel, had loads of annoying faults and didn't have any power, wasn't impressed at all with it! Sportrak has twice the millage,has seen years of farm use (never towed) and runs like a Swiss watch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scarecrow243 24 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 look at the gearbox and see if oil is leaking from the bottom of the bell houseing it can get on the clutch plate and will cause a judder you can get a spray to clean it but you need to have an inspection hole in the houseing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
