Have recently started to get a juddering when I re engage the clutch (worst in
either second or third) not so bad in 4th, accompanied by a metallic sound
(not cog grind). Doesn't happen when driving from cold but builds as the cars
driven a bit. Is it a synchromesh problem ?, worst when decelerating and shifting
down gears. Got any ideas?

im just guessing,

but possibly your pressure plate bolts are comming loose and its shaking or the flywheel is loose.


i use mobil 1 trans fluid and i love it.

what u mean by juddering...does the car shake? or just noise?

If it almost feels like wheel hop or something that was happening to my car. I took the trans off and found out there were a whole bunch of hot spots all over my pressure plate, and sizable pieces of metal were missing from it. Good ol jap steel.
