I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

tech question

Post by sfc » April 03, 2005

First off, no I probably shouldn't post it in this forum, but given I think the problem is somewhat obscure... and this forum gets the most traffic, it's going here, at least till I get an answer, then I'll move it :)

Anyways, question, or rather problem is:

When I start out slow in first gear, let out the clutch, it feels like the whole car shudders. I'm wondering if this is normal... or perhaps it's because I still don't have my rear poly motor-mount insert in yet? Or maybe it's even because I put in poly mounts period. I don't think it's anything serious as it's always done it, and it doesn't shudder at all if I let out the clutch with the rpm's up a little bit higher, or let it out slower. Anyways, any suggestions ideas people? I really should get in the rear mount insert regardless but haven't had the time to get to the proper tools to get it done. And since I don't even know if that's the cause... I haven't been in any huge rush.

meaning what? Needs to be resurfaced? Not a big deal? Is it ok this way? Doesn't seem to really matter unless I launch real slow like as I said. And bishass now I'm never getting any responses!

sounds like it's just your poly-mounts.. it's gonna shudder the entire car with a slow clutch release (read: low throttle) on take-off.. especially if you have a higher performance clutch.

thank you blueshift, that's what I thought, and was hoping for. I have a lightened flywheel and an act stage-3 clutch.
