Q: New Aftermarket clutch works well and gets into gears smoothly but 1st and reverse gears makes my engine shutter like no other.
New Aftermarket clutch works well and gets into gears smoothly but 1st and reverse gears makes my engine shutter like no other. I was wondering if it could be the install's problem or the clutch still needs to be broken in? I feel the clutch pedal getting lighter because of the break-in but the shutter from reverse and 1st does not get any better at all.
My car has a manual transmission.
