sorry i didnt actually read your questions...
you feel a slight shudder as the clutch engages, i found it mainly in 1st and reverse when youre riding the clutch slightly like in traffic or in a carpark. i think cos of the nature of the clutch plate when you engage it slowly it doesnt slowly grip it shudders then grips:confused: im confusing myself now, youll have to wait till you pick it up i guess.... what ar you paying for it? i remember mine was $600 which isnt too bad cos i sure as hell ait gunah break it in a hurry
