Clutch Judder That Goes Away After Driving

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by m4rsib4r on January 25, 2021

If any of you have experience with this or know what could cause this please let me know I’ve taken it to two shops, one dealership and one was an indie shop.

Both of them charged me a diagnostic fee to tell me "clutch judder isn’t unusual, the clutch still has plenty of life in it, there’s nothing to do at this time."

I found something about clutch contamination while looking up the symptoms, and it seems like maybe this could be it. The explanation that clicked with me was if oil or condensation gets on the clutch it causes a slip-grab-slip pattern causing the judder, after the clutch heats up it burns whatever it is off and operates normally.

My car will violently judder during the first take off of the day, and every takeoff after until about 10 minutes into driving then stop completely and feel like a brand new car. It’s crazy.

Im not interested in paying another diagnostic fee for someone to tell me not to worry about it. It’s making the car a pain to drive.

Tips? Advice? Anything! Thank you for reading

Did these shops actually look at the clutch? Because this could be wear at 85k miles. Fluid contamination is also possible, and can be checked at the same time.

Annoying, but not a problem.
