just dont thrash your car while its still happening because if its your clutch and it gets worse you will end up geting stuck somewhere. It sounds like what was happening to me i would say its your clutch but check it out and take it easy....

same thing happened to me i had the car for 2 weeks i rang them up even though i didnt have warranty and they half with me on the cost and installation of the clutch not too sure what your 1 year warranty covers but i dont think so because it comes under wear and tear like tyres so i doubt they will cover the clutch.... you can always ring and ask

Sounds like you have the same problem I have at the moment mate... That's your car telling you the clutch is slipping.

Take it easy on the clutch, granny drive it as much as possible, and hopefully that will give you time to get a new clutch ready :D

(at least this is what I have to do). Once it goes though, it can prove to be an expensive tow home or to your workshop.

hey guys.

i changed the clutch to an excedy heavy duty tuff clutch. i driven 800km on it so far trying to take it easy until the break in period is over (1000km). i just started noticing that the car shudders/vibrates violently on friction point! is this normal for a HD clutch or there something wrong with my flywheel or wrong bedding in?? :unsure:

thanks in advance.

PTY, sounds like you are on the right track in mods :)

Wondering if its a huge difference from factory stock?

How much did you pay and where did you get it installed at?

Your question does seam interesting, lets sit back and wait till who might know :)

Don't quote me but I have heard of some heavy duty clutches doing this...

I used to have an 83 Honda Accord and even tho it wasn't a performance vehicle (really) when bits broke i was in the habit of getting them replaced with long-life / heavy duty replacement parts. I had an Exceedy heavy duty clutch in that and had the same issue... I found that if i picked the revs up a little more to take off and learnt to operate it differently I had no problems at all and better response taking off at higher revs... but like I said don't quote me, it may not be normal for urs to do that... I guess live with it for the moment and if the shuddering starts to get worse or it becomes unbearable have it looked at...

Did you get the clutch changed at a good workshop or one that quoted the lowest.. it may be something misaligned with the clutch/clutch plate.

The heavy duty clutch shouldn't *****/shudder unless you're letting the clutch out really/too fast but generally it should be ok. Letting it out too fast shouldn't cause it to shudder anyhow.

'RO11ER' its much better then the factory stock, gear changes are quicker and you get better response. i got it installed for $650 at a locate mechanic in fairfield. though i dont recommend him. in the process of putting my clutch in i think he stuff up my radiator as when i got home it was leaking. i called up the mechanic but he wouldnt admit any fault to it. so i had to replace it myself with a second hand radiator.

'Delvance' im not too sure about the workshop. my friend got his HD clutch there so he recommended it me.

i have heard that HD clutches shudder for awhile until proper break in.

does shuddering damage the car?

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Tow bar

      Hi guys, Just bought my new Landcruiser Prado yesterday. What is the difference between Onroad Towner and Off road Towbar

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb
