What Causes a Manual Transmission Car to Shudder When Starting?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars may shudder when starting due to worn clutch components, a dirty throttle body, or fuel system issues. The specific reasons are as follows: Worn Clutch Components: When starting from a standstill and gradually releasing the clutch pedal, the vehicle may shudder. This is caused by irregular wear in the clutch assembly (flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate), leading to misalignment of one or more components. Dirty Throttle Body: A dirty throttle body can cause uneven air intake and result in shuddering. Fuel System Issues: Insufficient fuel supply when accelerating can lead to uneven engine cylinder operation and shuddering.
