clutch shuddering

[jvs007]

got OS twin plate clutch and from time to time it shudders and jumps alot but only when taking off in 1st. other gear changes are fine. The shudder feels pretty strong (escpecially goin up drive ways slowly) and sumtimes i have to completly disengage and try again for it to be smooth. Is it trying to tell me sumthing needs attention or is it relatively normal.

thanx

my single plate does this sometimes if i try and slip it... dont know if that helps.

what will it feel like to drive an OS Giken twin plate clutch with solid centre disc's ??

i have been told that it will be heavy, but i will be able to slip it so i wont be chirping the wheels when taking off.

But i have also been told it will be heavy and either on/off. And it will be a complete pain to take off as the wheels will chirp and it will be very rough...

any comments?

jvs007 - yes, completely normal. Esp when trying to 'creep' as in inching along.

Dave - tricky at first, you will stall it plenty. Then you get used to it & never look back.

Very true , it took about 550kays for my exedy one to wear in, was quite jerky before that, but is much better now

once i got the feeling of a twin plate sorted, i loved it. much better then single plate IMO. when replacement time comes i would consider paying more money and getting twin plate again.

you can just rebuild your twin plate, you wouldn't get a new one
