Reply to "Clutch is "shaking". Maybe..."

George PAdmin.

Assuming the clutch is new, bolted to the flywheel tightly, all the springs are in place (nothing has come apart) and the flywheel is a one piece design; this would be the result of a warped flywheel or a "variable thickness" issue caused by friction material deposits. The flywheel can be resurfaced. The repair is inexpensive but requires removal of the transaxle.

It may have been like this all along and only now have you noticed it. It won't hurt anything if you can tolerate the "slip & grab" when you take off from a stop.

This is normally the result of abusive use of the clutch, overheating it and either warping it or leaving an un-even layer of clutch friction material on the metal. Very similar to the same problems that occur with disk brake rotors.

However I assumed a lot of things in writing that diagnosis. Those other things can also create problems with similar symptoms.
