Why does the manual transmission shake when starting?
1 Answers
Manual transmission vehicles may shake during startup due to the following reasons: 1. Insufficient engine power. 2. Loose connection between the transmission and chassis. 3. Uneven engagement between the clutch pressure plate and clutch friction disc. 4. Normally, manual transmission cars engage the clutch in a semi-coupled state during startup, so a certain degree of shaking is normal. Additionally, if starting on a slope without giving enough throttle, the shaking can be more noticeable. 5. Worn engine mounts. Engine mounts act as the engine's shock absorption system, absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations can transfer to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking at idle.
