What Causes the Car to Shake When Releasing the Clutch in Second Gear?

[ElainaMarie]

When releasing the clutch in second gear, the car may shake due to the following reasons: 1. Uneven pressure distribution: The uneven elasticity of the pressure springs in the frequently engaged clutch, inconsistent adjustments of the release levers, and/or uneven ends of the diaphragm spring fingers can lead to asynchronous pressure application times, uneven force on the pressure plate, and even tilting of the pressure plate, resulting in poor contact between the main and driven plates and causing clutch shake. 2. Weakened damping spring elasticity: The weakened elasticity of the clutch torsional damping springs, the weakened elasticity of the clutch pressure springs, or cracks in the diaphragm spring can all cause the clutch to shake during engagement. In this case, the recommended solution is to replace the springs. 3. Poor contact of the clutch lining: Poor contact of the clutch lining, surface hardening, or adhesion of sticky substances can easily cause the clutch to shake. In this situation, the clutch lining should be re-bonded.
