Shutter - Clutch, Gearbox?

Hey Guys,

When I put the clutch to friction point and the car begins to move without accelerating the car begins to shutter and you can feel it underneath the car.

It usually happens when the car is cold and warming up. Its not a problem because the car drives perfect all the time just abit strange that the car has this shutter which seems to be either the clutch or the gearbox.

Was just wondering if any members have encountered something like this with their cars and see if they have found a fix.

Look forward to hear your thoughts and opinions

Sounds like clutch to me. The wifes EH is doing it atm(I know its an excellent comparison) and I hope it doesnt get any worse as it has on her car only when going to take off. I was told its the clutch by my mechanic.

How olds your clutch and do u give it a workout.

Bloody clutches !!!!!!! my twin plate is starting to make funny noises too......

does it feel like the car is wobbling side to side?

I had similar problem with my old factory clutch. Had a new clutch put in + flywheel machined etc and it disappeared

I think its related to an unbalanced flywheel but i could be wrong..

I dont think my clutch has been changed since the car was new. So I have a 96 model so that 12 years!!

Not to bad.

I treat the car pretty well I dont thrash it or anything.

May just get myself a heavy duty organic if I ever decide to modify my car in the future. Pretty stock at the moment except for an exhaust but may just do a couple things to get a bit more power.

Probs do a compression test first to see if the 102,000km engine can handle some extra grunt dont want to blow the engine.

Im sure a compression test will show all is good :blush: .

As long as you have a good tuner the old girl will take a licking and keep on ticking.

I have a mate with over 400rwhp(Garrett 35/40) on a stock motor and has been running his setup for almost two years now without a problem. He always get his tuned by Matty SPRY from PITTS though who is a pretty well renowned tuner though.

Oh and thats with a powerfc :P .

Get a heavy duty clutch and the flywheel machined and then u will be set for any future mods.

I am having a very similiar problem at the moment. If the shutter is there when you take off and then goes away it is most likely your Center bearing. We are changing mine this week. Put it on the hoise yesterday and you could move it around. There was no tention on it at all. Hope this helps

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
