I dont know wether its the way I drive the car but when changing up the gears or down. when the revs are low it gives a judder. The revs are not too low as to casue a judder, but it judders in 2nd and 3rd. It only happens when the accelerator is on the floor. When you lift the pedal and slowly depress it iagain t goes okay.

 

Like its letting too much fuel through and it cant cope. Is this normal?

How bad of a judder?

 

our Automatic sometimes "judders" under certain conditions. (when accelerating, low revs, up hill).

 

it only does it enough to make the cassette vibrate & top storage pockets.

Clutch !

Wouldn't you expect clutch judder at every gearchange though? I also wonder about a broken roll restrictor bolt (see FAQs) but again I would expect it in every gear and particularly setting off in first.

 

What revs does it happen at?

Nope you wouldn't expect a clutch judder at every gearchange 2nd and 3rd ( especially 3rd ) are the most likely, you dont really need a clutch to change into 4th, for 5th you usually have a lot of torque applied when you change and you tend to only engage 1st when stationary.

 

All this is tosh however if Andrew T comes back and sayes he is driving an Auto !

It'll be a cold day in hell when I buy an Auto!

 

Just going from my own experience when my cars have developed clutch judder it's been worst setting off in 1st and then lessening with each change.
