[Tigers] Clutch problem

[Veloce Solutions]

I don't think that this could be the case but I experienced some of the
symptoms when my throwout bearing failed. The clutch pedal felt "notchy" and
the car would shudder leaving the line, even under light load. Then it would
feel OK for a while. When I pulled the gearbox off of the engine, the
throwout bearing completely came apart and all of the balls rolled out. I
still don't know what could have been the cause of the failure as it was a
new bearing with just a few thousand miles on it, and I certainly don't
remember abusing it.

 

Cheers,

 

JVP

Maybe your fulcrum mount in the bellhousing is loose or the release lever
has shifted or worn to the point where it's not working consistently?

A similar problem could occur with the linkage under the dash - check that
first because it's way easier to get to and you can see what's going on
there.

 

Other than that - I'd say it might be a hydraulic problem like an air bubble
that sometimes gets in the line and sometimes not. check your fluid level
and maybe bleed the system, look for gunk or contaminated fluid.
