Hi,
2004, manual, 70k miles. When the car is cold and I'm moving from a stand still the car judders rather violently. It happens on clutch's biting point. I've tried doing it with handbrake on and it doesn't happen. Only when the car starts moving I hear judder/jumping and clunking from the rear. Could be the clutch (flywheel) or something in the rear. Bearing? Driveshaft bushing?

sounds like a slipping clutch IMO.RenoRaines wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 7:29 am Hi,

Try moving off slowly using only the clutch. If it doesn’t do it I’d forget about it. No signs of slippage once up to temp?

Just to give a feedback on the issue.
No signs of slippage or whatsoever. I got a 'tip' to drag a clutch a bit. And the problem mysteriously went away. Supposedly there are some clutch deposits which stick to the flywheel. And dragging a clutch (one time only) would kinda 'clean' flywheel's surface.
Though the clutch is not new and has 70k on it. That would also be a factor.
