clutch slip / judder


Recommended Posts

Does sound clutch related that, either worn clutch, or the fork has become damaged, they often split over time and can cause a judder on the clutch. 

 

I would get a full clutch kit. I got a Valeo kit in mine and cant recommend them enough, purchased from Stealth Racing, would come with thrust bearing etc.. etc...

 

You can get a clutch fork for about 11 quid from VW (optionally you can re-in force them) but a new one will probably outlive the life of the car anyway.. 

 

Other things to look out for while you are poking around that way is a new slave cylinder, sometimes the real can split and leaks fluid - If I recall correctly your looking at around 30 quid for one of these.

 

You should have a pretty smooth clutch after though :)

 

Presume you have already checked that all your mounts are fine by holding the hand brake on, putting in to gear and attempt to see if there is any engine movement when you put you let off the clutch?

 

Does your gearbox go into each gear ok and no strange noises?

 

My money is on the clutch / fork but easy enough to resolve!
