this is not my daily driver just the one i'm starting to work on. which has been sitting for a while. :confused: | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | I would guess it's all rusty. Possibly the disc has been glazed from slipping.

My '65 started shuddering a few months after buying it and gradually became worse along with noise from release bearing. At first I could kind of find that sweet spot to accelerate more smoothly but, after a bit, it was all shudder. Threw a clutch kit in and she was all good up 'til I installed the T5. Your disc could be glazed. Your flywheel could need resurfacing. Oil could be getting in there. You pretty much have got to take things apart to see what's goin' on so, you may as well just install a new kit while you've got things apart. Or, drive it 'til you can't stand it anymore or 'til it breaks but, speaking from experience, it pretty well sucks when you're out and about and the clutch decides to take a crap. -David Kustoms-and-Sleds | | |
