Hi all,

I just bought Youngy's old Xtreme clutch and had it fitted today by Ford. Feels realy solid compared to the stock unit but it has an awful shudder when taking off from a dead stop. :spoton: I know the clutch is ok because I went for a drive in the previous car it was in before it was taken out. Could it of been put in wrong? Maybe not tightened properly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :pooh:

Na wasn't machined. Just pulled out of previous car last night and fitted into mine today.

Will I need a whole new unit or can it be fixed?

Mate Titans rang me and I said for them to just get it looked at by brake and clutch to make sure all was sweet, The do shudder a little but once you get used to driving around them that will change and you will find the way to drive it without shudder.

My clutch shudders too mate, and Mal Woods said it shouldn't... I re-bled it and it helped heaps :laughing: still has a slight shudder, but most of the time its only minor, occasionally I get a massive one where it feels like the diff is gonna drop to the ground :laughing: I've put it down to incorrect installation, or they didn't machine the flywheel before hand. By the way, Mal didn't do the install, it was done here in canberra... depending on how the gearbox goes, I'll get it re installed after christmas and see how it goes then.

Mine is a massive shudder all the time, not just occasionally. I might re bleed it if Ford say they can't do anything.

Cheers for the help mate :laughing:

By the way, I can't get any photos of my mags to upload. Any helpful ideas? :sick:
