so my car is reacting really weird lately, here is the issue:
- during normal take off's (normal driving), i hold the clutch at the friction point for less than half a second while i maintain steady gas. normally the car would move forward and once i get some momentum i would let the clutch go while accelerating.
- i now have about 10,000 kms on my car and everytime i drive, and take off from a stop, the clutch seems to hop as if the tires were slipping. i can feel a specific pulsating action from my cluth and the whole car itself, its not a vibration because each of the pulse is quite pronouced.
- i have checked the tire pressure and it is fine. could it be that my clutch is wearing out ? or just my bad clutch in/out habits have finally caught up to me ?

 

What you're experiencing is a clutch chatter or shudder. My car does it too. There are numerous reason why we have it. It could be from an improper break-in or hotspot on the flywheel. I usually take my car to a local strip and drag it.

 

^ and draging it fixes it ? lol

 

Oh yeah, that's one of the reasons why my car chatters. LOL

 

I have this issue too. 4k miles. Only launched once hard once. Inexcusable

 

You only have to overheat the clutch once for this to potentially happen. It's no different from any other MT car, although the G is on the heavier side, so it's easier to slip the clutch for too long and over heat it.

 

doing a burnout helps it out a bit cause it kindas shaves the metal on the flywheel and clutch a bit. but yeah, its mostly from a hot spot on the flywheel. Its kinda like brake rotors, overheat it once and distort it guess what? you need to cut the rotors. same as the flywheel

 

^^ I'm no mechanic but I'm not sure how this would happen. Your brakes have a single grab point at the caliper. From what I understand, your clutch is more of a concentric, flat, all-at-once pressure from the plate. It seems like either your flywheel or plate would have to wobble to get a hotspot or wear irregularly.
