What Causes Shaking When Starting in 1st Gear with a Manual Transmission?

[DiGabriella]

Manual transmission starting shaking reasons: When starting with a manual transmission, the clutch is in a semi-engaged state, which can cause a certain degree of slight shaking; if starting on a slight slope without giving gas, the shaking can be more noticeable. This situation is caused by the clutch part; if the shaking is severe, the first possible issue could be a fault in the clutch components. Solutions for shaking not caused by operation: When starting, always gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch based on feel. With practice, starting can be done without shaking. If the issue is not due to operation, the possible cause might be insufficient engine power. If the engine power cannot keep up when starting, the car will shake. (Check the engine). Loose connection between the transmission and the chassis. Starting can also cause a shaking sensation. (Check chassis components such as the half-shaft, CV joint, etc.). Uneven engagement between the clutch pressure plate and the clutch friction disc. Starting will cause shaking. This could be due to uneven pressure from the clutch pressure plate fingers. The only solution is replacement.
