Clutch help please :D

Alright lads got a clutch issue...

Clutch is creaking when depressing and releasing pedal - this is fine, could either be cable or the lever arm attatched to the gearbox creaking under pressure. Main problem is that when pulling away in 1st i get a juddering feeling, seeming to come through the clutch - just trying to confirm that this is due to the clutch wearing out?Also, when idling in neutral, if i hold revs just above 1000 rpm, it will judder slighty again, no where near as much as when pulling off in 1st but still is there (only happens when the clutch is warmed up all of this btw). Clutch does'nt actually 'slip' at all either.

Any comments would be really helpfull as I'm about to get it done, so to make sure I'm posting this.

Cheers
Chris

Not nice is it! lol

Right well I'm going to get my clutch done with a friend, he works with Fernando Alonso's mechanic from the 2005 season so hopefully he will be able to put it right! I'll let you know if fitting a new clutch sorted it out

Anyone else know if this will be the clutch going?

Thanks

This is strange, tried to order a Sachs clutch just now - my car is the ARY engine (even though its in the higher tax bracket?) So they have told me that they do one for the ARC but not the ARY? Anyone else experienced this problem?
