MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m 14d Posted 08/04/13 10:26 PM Share Posted 08/04/13 10:26 PM hey peoples, car has developed a shudder on take off when driven for the first time in the morning etc (6sp manual), once warm the shudder goes away. im assuming its from the clutch and may need new fluid and bleeding?? I decided to hop under car and inspect for any leaks etc but found none and clutch reservoir is full but fluid looks a bit yucky. I also had a look under while car was running and at the gear box there is air coming out of a couple of spots.... im guessing its normal but have attached pics of the spots to make sure.cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84560-is-this-normal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did the same at the moment I'm still working on it. I'm no expert but most people on this forum think I am. Diff bushes or rear wheel hub and or tail shaft centre bearing. I put my money on tailshaft centre bearing. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84560-is-this-normal/#findComment-1379129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m 14d Posted 09/04/13 08:55 PM Author Share Posted 09/04/13 08:55 PM So tailshaft bearing causes the shudder when cold and then goes away when warm? What about those spots I pointed to where air is coming out... Normal?

Likely cause by buildup on the flywheel or pressure plate/or warpage of the flywheel or pressure plate that evens out a touch when warm.The air holes on the gearbox are normal.

Even after you flush it and drive it down the road and back its dirty again.
