am i loosing the plot

Post by Gary406 »

you all know i have a judder on my car .

well ive just changed the thermostat and a lot of the water ran down into the gearbox and possible on the flywheel :shock:

is it just me BUT .... my judder seems to have vanished. its really smooth under load and under low revs.

what could the anti freeze have done ? or is it me loosing the plot :? :?

is it a Recent /new clutch plate?

if so it may have been put in with Grubby hands,
the coolant may have helped clean it perhaps , :?

Sounds like a good idea. Stick some baking soda up the exhaust to stop it smoking too :?
