|
|
I just rebuilt my engine and it runs super sweet.
The only problem is: when i am stationary on the slightest hill and I wanna move. As i put my car in first and release the clutch, the car shakes like crazy.
I only have this problem in 1st gear and not the others. Not even reverse.
Help!!! _________________ 1973 VW Squareback |

You probably need more curve in your bowden tube, or the transmission mounts have let go. What is happening is the the transmission is rocking enough to effect the clutch cable, effectively pulling and releasing the clutch over and over again. More shims on the bowden tube, or new mounts, or both. Either is a relatively easy job. |

Turns out one of the forks is stuck and all I had to do is release the engine bolts so its gets loose and tighten them back again. I add extra shims anyways! _________________ 1973 VW Squareback |
