I have a 2006 Lancer ES. The problem im having with it is that when letting the clutch go in first gear...the car sometimes trembles....this only happens in first gear...and it only happens sometimes in the morning when the car has rested all night. I usually turn the car on and let it run about 2-5 minutes before driving off..

Can any one help me with this?????????

 

It sounds like regular clutch chatter...nothing really to worry about. My Civic does the exact thing. Only in the morning, only in first...

 

It's called "your car is warming up." Just ignore it unless it becomes a 24-7 problem.

 

let your car warm up first! i noticed a lot of peepz do that, turn on engine not even a second then they drive off. geez

 

defcon, read his post next time.

 

THANKS PUERTO RECON FOR HILIGHTING THAT FOR ME....JAJAJAJAJA

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS

 

Unless you two know of some magic way that the clutch disc is warming up while the car sits in your driveway idling, I'd say that our response of "it's still warming up" is correct.
Yeah, Defcon5Es is wrong in implying that it would not happen if he lets the car idle (because as I said before, the clutch is doing nothing while you idle). But the point is that your clutch is still cold and it is warming up as you first start driving. That is what is causing this "problem".

 

blacksheepdj so what you are saying is that, there is no way to fix this?

or should i press the clutch a couple of times before driving off?

 

They're saying it's no big deal. It's normal and not hurting the car I assume.

 

Try pressing the clutch a few times before you go, yeah. That might help. But overall, don't worry about it. Nothing is actually wrong.

As Drucea said, it's not hurting anything. It's kinda like how you stumble around when you first get out of bed, you know? The car is just kinda working out the morning kinks.

 

Ok......thanks

 

I get the same thing. No big deal don't worry

 

This happens to me sometimes. Usuallly i just give it a little more gas and everythings fine.

 

My car does the same thing. I took it in to Mitsu and they just said that the surface on my flywheel was warped a little but that it was no big deal and that it wouldn t affect the car really at all. But im putting a new clutch in probably in the next week and im guna get the flywheel resurfaced
