[Mrizzle05]

So im heading on a 200+ mile trip tonight and my clutch starts to act up... a lot. I dont know what it is, and input would help....When im in first and try and take of... if its not perfect then my car shakes a lil and sometimes i hear a clank sound under the console area (i think)Then in second i push the clutch in to brake and stop, then i am able to go again and i slowly let go of the clutch and gave gas it shutters again.I think its cuz its trying to grab the clutch and it having a problem... so any input?

Mine shruders to unless you take off perfect. I just thought it was normal.

Assuming that it never used to be this way and now it is, then that implies it is not normal for your car. The cars are a bit humble for low end torque.A clank sound is odd though, can't think of what in the clutch assembly would clank. If not the clutch, maybe a CV joint? Does the parking brake really disengage? (Check for hot rear wheels after driving a bit) Any problems in any other gears?

I know what that shuder is, and its normal when your too low and about to stall, but mines when i taking off and give it enough... but not perfect.Ima see if a tranny cousin can take a look at it. It does it in the lower RPMs, but mostly first when i take off... it just never happened like how it feels before.Thanks for the input

My Jeep used to make a clank noise underneath when the transmission mount was going bad.
