Low speed transmission shudder

zerofighter · 04-12-2008, 02:05 AM

So in 1st gear and roughly 1500 - 2000 rpm at about 20km/h the car starts to shudder, not jerky like it's almost going to stall, but a constant shutter until I go faster or put in the clutch. I definitely isn't me not giving it enough gas, I am guessing that it might be the pressure plate or something in the clutch? Definitely feel it's the drivetrain.

This only started to happen recently, I can replicate it a little, but some times its real bad that I had to put the clutch back in to stop the shuddering.

Car is an 06 323 with 27k. Anyone a have similar problem?

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm getting the same issue.

me too.. does anyone think its related to the wastgate rattle? the shutter seems to have gotten better after i got my wastegate's replaced, but it's still there with low speed. the shutter happens about halfway releasing the clutch, and it's as if the gears aren't catching. any ideas? thanks!

had the same problem - exact same rpm as well. started two weeks ago. sound is easy to reaplicate/repeat. left the car at my service station yesterday. they said its either the clutch or the flywheel. the will take it apart tomorrow and let me know. Ill keep you posted

Got the answer from my mechanic today. He says they took it apart and diagnosed the thrust bearing (at least thats what it translates to from polish) to be causing this noise and vibration and ordered a new one.

so they did change the bearing...and guess what? the rattle is back ....
