Quick question. After a while of city driving or just stop and go traffic, my car lunges like hell when I engage the clutch so I have to give it a lot of gas and ride the clutch to avoid this? Is this just a sign of my cluth going out (I replaced it 30K miles ago) or is it just my clutch heating up? Thanks.

in a safe area put yo car in 5th gears and give is some basically try to get the car to move, if it stalls and stalls its fine, but if your rpms go up and it don't stall when you have the clutch out might want to get it looked atwww.turbov6camaro.com

Ok, lets see if I am understanding you correctly. After a while, it kind of engages quickly, and probably jerks around and stuff, making you have to start out at a higher RPM? Maybe your clutch springs in the clutch are getting weak. One sure fire way to know, is if you have clutch chatter, most likely its the clutch springs taking a crap. That is part of the clutch so basically meaning the clutch is bad. Good luck. ;)Originally posted by eDoog:

thanks for the input. I'm going to try the 5th gear nonsense tonight and see what happens. If it's the springs, I guess I'm screwed.\'96 M5 Camaro White<br />Flowmaster Full Catback<br />SLP CAI<br />180* Thermo<br /><br />Stereo: H/U - Clarion DXZ725 <br />Alipne Type-R 6.5 Components (front), <br />Alpine Alpine SPS-1629S 6.5 <br />2 10\" JL 10w0<br /><br />\"One Love\" -Bob MarleyComment

Clutch chatter, what the hell is that? I've never heard of that before.---Niño---<br /><i>95\' silver 5 spd</i>Comment

Yes, I've had clutch chatter once before in my old 76 T/A. The flywheel was warped and the transmission sleeve broke off making the trans shaft vibrate like crazy as I began to accelerate. It almost looked like the car was trying to shake it'self apart.
Replaced the sleeve and trurned the flywheel, and the chatter was gone. It was cause by dropping the clutch at around 3k-4k rpm's too much. Needless to say, I don't do that too much anymore.sigpicComment
