Smooth Shifting? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #89385 5 posts Started by 6G96GT
Hey guys, engine's been rebuilt 20K miles ago along with a new performance clutch, etc... had cams installed and dyno tuned. Full tune up 6K miles ago. Everything is good except recently shifting gears has been a bit odd...

Here's the issue: worse in the colder mornings...Car fires right up, idles just fine, accelerates awesome...then I shift the gear and it kind of stutters for a sec or 2. Happens for 1st, 2nd, and third gear. Once the car warms up, the issue goes away.

Thoughts?

i need a better description of stutters. sounds like the clutch is wearing uneven and its warping

it kind of bucks a little. Like its not getting sufficient fuel but I dont think fuel delivery is the issue.

Did you break in the clutch already?
and what kind of "performance clutch" is it?
Centerforce and it's got 20k miles on it. I had it done when the engine got rebuilt.
