Pinpoint Test 2: Clutch Chatter Or Shudder




PINPOINT TEST 2: CLUTCH CHATTER OR SHUDDER

Normal Operation

Clutch pedal movement is transmitted by fluid pressure to the slave cylinder, which in turn presses the release bearing against the clutch diaphragm spring. This force causes the spring to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc.

Possible Causes
- Transaxle mounting
- Clutch pressure plate
- Clutch disc
- Flywheel
