Fixing Clutch shudder?

Postby ducktape69 » Fri Sep 08, 2006 5:48 pm

hey guys,

will simply chaning the clutch resolve the god damn clutch shudder? or does it also need a new pressure plate? bearings? flywheel? etc?

Cheers...

you will need to replace the Clutch plate Pressure Plate and get the
Flywheel machined . I belive Mazda was replacing the flywheel when it
had to many hot spots

No on mine it was always just the clutch plate being replaced.
Remove the asbestos and that's what happens.
Get a stronger pressure plate that will solve the problem and build up your left leg. :D
