Clutch shutters starting in first when hot

[spideyz]

So now that I am driving the brat more than around the block, I've picked up a new problem to deal with. 4spd d/r 4wd.

 

Car drives fine around the block, but after I drive on the freeway and get things nice and hot, when I go back to the surface streets for some stop and go, the car shutters like hell when I let out the clutch in first gear from a dead stop. If I am moving at all, there is no problem. I've tried revving the engine a bit more upon start up and letting the clutch out real slow. These tactics help somewhat, but I can still feel the suttering. At it's worst the shifter is shaking all over the place, the car is really shuttering hard and once I had the 4wd lever bounce up into 4wd on its own. The guy I bought the brat from told me he just canged the clutch. So did he screw some thing up? I'm thinking tranny mount maybe? What do you think?

sounds like you need your fly-wheel resurfaced, check your clutch lining and throwout bearing too while yore in there.

Keith,

It is possible that after the clutch change the

cable was not properly adjusted.

This could allow a small amount of clutch slippage

while cruising, thus heating the pp, flywheel and clutch plate and cause the chatter you are experiencing.

Does the pedal have a small amount of free play at the top of it's travel?

If not please do a search for clutch adjustment

you will find many posts on the procedure.

Hope this helps.
