Clutch Shudder When Cold
The Evo is an '05 with 11,500 miles on it and is 7 months old.
When the car is cold (it doesn't get real cold in Texas) I noticed a clutch shudder when releasing the clutch. No noises, I just feel it. It seems to go away after a 15-20 minutes of driving although I occasionally feel a slight shudder after it's warmed up.
The car has had a *few* hard launches at autocross. That is if you can launch hard with the stupid "clutch in rev limiter" that '05's have. I have noticed no slipping at all.
Is it time to shop for a new after market clutch?
If it is what do you guys recommend for a car that's used as a daily driver and weekend autocross weapon?
Thanks

For me, the stocker is the way to go- it prevents me from breaking anything in the drive train, has good feel, and I'm use to it. I can't see changing it unless you're going for more than 300 WHP.
Too bad mine only lasted 15,000 miles.

I have 46k on my '03 and it's done this since day one. You just need a little heat in the clutch and then it'll go away. I'm still on the stock clutch and it's holding fine. In the mornings I just slip it a tad more for the first few get goes and then it's a-ok.

23k on mine and it does the same thing when its cold. Always goes away. I wouldnt worry about your clutch until it starts slipping.
From what I hear, those Exedy Hyper Singles do it right out of the box. One of the girl members on here has one and she says its pretty loud.
