February 23, 200719 yr I haven't driven it yet, but my sister mentioned something about a shudder when gettin started. My first thought was the clutch shudder that was prevolent in the 00-01's. I did a search and couldn't find any posts about it happening in the newer models. Has anyone else had a problem with this? I'll be getting a chance to drive it tomorrow, so we'll see. It is a non-turbo and it has about 15,000 miles on it.
February 23, 200719 yr Tell her to learn to drive stick.... Seriously though...I'm wondering if the slave for the clutch is going bad. There was a problem with the legacy's back in 02 (My old OB had a serious issue and got a new clutch for it once) There is a TSB on it and just b/c it was on the older cars doesn't mean that it wouldn't effect the newer ones too.
February 23, 200719 yr Author You tell her :cool: Or come over tomorrow night, I'll be cooking at the Cafe. Lobster Ravioli... You can take it for a drive also, since 95% of my recent stick experience is in the Brat...
February 23, 200719 yr hmmmm might have to stop by for dinner... (not that lobster crap either) <----hates all seafood except fish.

February 23, 200719 yr 15,000 miles could equal 350,000 if she hasn't kept up on the oil changes. Reason I say this is clutch shudder is sometimes caused by crankshaft endplay (thrust bearing wear). I hope it's a throw-out bearing though, but I've never seen a throw-out bearing fail at 15k. I have seen (mostly women) skip oil changes and cause thrust bearing failure at 15k. good luck
February 23, 200719 yr she is good on the oil changes...hocrest has done a few that I know of for her.
