Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

Just the beginning. It would shake violently but it would go away when i shift to a higher gear. The shake would just go away.

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

my car does it too, but it only does it sometimes, and when it does do it i let off and let it roll and then rebalance the clutch and gas and its fine! but im going to change my clutch and see if it helps.

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

how much revs are you giving it getting into 1st gear?

mine shakes if i give her any less then 2k to start.

I have a centreforce clutch too.

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

well i dont even have to rev it. Like whenever the clutch is engage it will start shaking badly. Stock Clutch.

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

You have to rev it somewhat to get going. Or are you saying that you just let the clutch out and it rolls on just fine?

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

Well yes i have to rev it to get it going. But what im saying is that even though i dont rev it and slowly let go of the clutch pedal. It would begin to shake badly. Even if i did rev the engine. It would shake violently. I think the clutch is not gripping?

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

maybe ur pressure plate isn't bolted down? so when it tries to engauge it starts clapping? or maybe the flywheel... i bet its one of those

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

you dont think its due to a bad clutch?

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

give the fucker more gas. mine does this too if i give it 0 or little gas. 2k and its smooth no vibrating. mine also does it part way through clutch engagement. Been doing it for years and never touched the clutch, so its fine. I think it may be a thing about driving a car of that age.

Re: Violent Shake when in 1st gear
 

I can make mine shake if I give it just the right amount of gas and clutch. Just don't do it. I give it enough gas and a smooth release on the clutch and no problems.

I think you are getting worked up about nothing.
