Has anyone had trouble with clutch shutter before ?

Im running stock as a rock set up except for a 3.36 centre stocko wheels.


So im guessing springs have come from the clutch plate or are damaged ..


The only other time i have come across this is by accidentally bending the pressure plate trying to jam the gearbox in,. But mine has only started doing it.


Thoughts > ???

Mayebe some oil or something has got on to the plate, that will make em shudder a bit.
Cheers

I would suggest looking at the following possible causes;

* soft or broken engine or gearbox mounts
* loose bellhousing bolts
* cracked bellhousing
* cracked or broken gearbox crossmember
* sticking clutch slave or master cylinders
* and as said before oil or other debris on the flywheel

Hope this helps, cheers Wayne

When i did my clutch i removed the flywheel to be machined. In the back of the block there is a welch plug, mine was rusted through, so possibly coolant, but you would notice the level constantly dropping.

Hmm well maybe its the stupid lowering blocks making the diff shudder i know they were rocking as i was running a rubber under the foot of the mount.
 or it uses a little water could be that but its not dripping i will start with the obvious and take the rubber out of the base of the lowering block and then i will work my way forward.

The other thing to look for is a cracked throw out fork, The extra pressure of taking off with a 3.36 diff puts a lot more load on the clutch than it was designed for.

Hopefully i will get the shed wired in the coming weeks and i can get my hoist going might drop the box out and check the pressure plate throw out fork ect.
Starter motor sticks a bit so might kill two birds with one stone.
