#1: Judder when pulling away Author: A10PSW, Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 3:46 pm ---- My car made a terrible judder this morning when I pulled away in 1st gear.
It seems to disappear once the engine has warmed up.
Is this the clutch on the way out?

#3: Re: Judder when pulling away Author: A10PSW, Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 8:53 am ---- Well it was ok this morning.
I am sure that the clutch is on its way out soon though as the car has done nearly 60K and it has never been replaced.
I don't know how long a clutch last but its got to be due soon surely!

My brothers car has done 129k and has never had the clutch replaced. Depends how you drive it.

#9: Re: Judder when pulling away Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 10:37 am ---- My Astra (just been scrapped) was 148k with original clutch and had only just had the original battery replaced. Had not been serviced for 6 years! Sometimes cars have few issues in these areas.

Does yours slip in any other gear, or just the judder in first?

It juddered when I pulled away.
But if I am careful with the clutch it does'not do it!
#12: Re: Judder when pulling away Author: kippo2012, Location: DevonPosted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 12:18 pm ---- That's what mine started out like, then over a few weeks it got worse to the point where it'd slip out of gear as I was driving along.. Which was quite annoying
#13: Re: Judder when pulling away Author: ARRAN, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 1:24 pm ---- Also how both my gearboxes started.
#14: Re: Judder when pulling away Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 2:55 pm ---- A clutch can be anything between 40k and 200k depending on your driving style (aggressive or sympathetic) and whether you do mainly motorway or short town driving in traffic.
#15: Re: Judder when pulling away Author: TheGTIlad, Location: LeedsPosted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 3:06 pm ---- It all depends how high the clutch bite on the pedal is, if its quite near the top, I would think about changing the clutch. If its not, I'd keep an eye on the judder to make sure it doesnt get worse.
