Juddering on pull off?

[coopster]

I only had this problem last night and today when the engine gets really warm the fan cuts in like it does etc

Everytime i pull off in 1st gear it judders not much prob 3 times before she runs properly really dont know what it could be!

Not sure but...
Have you checked your engine mountings especially the lower one at the centre back of the engine?
Also any oil leaks getting onto the clutch housing?

Does it only do it when warm? Is it like a misfiring judder or a clutch related judder? If it's clutch, either a contaminated clutch plate or a warped clutch/pressure plate

Its hard to say it doesnt seem like the engine, sometimes pulls off fine sometimes doesnt but it only judders when hot..

If you dont get your acceleration right when you pull of and the car jumps its like that, there is alot of oil under my engine so it may have gotten into the clutch. i need to buy some engine cleaner as it is very very bad..

I wouldn't of thought oil leaking from the engine would have caused it to contaminate the clutch. A leaking slave cylinder can wreck a clutch, also if the seal has gone on the crankshaft (Gearbox end) Your not loosing any water are you from the thermostat housing? This can leak over the gearbox/clutch and causes lack of friction thus creating excessive heat in the clutch plate which causes it to warp. Mine is warped slightly, but you get used to it

Its hard to say as there so much oil and dirt under there i need to get some gunk to wash the engine down find out where its leaking from etc. the only other thing is the clutch pedal itself if abit stiff, but the clutch isnt on its way it which doesnt make any sense!! the only thing i can see thats leaked is oil but theres hell of alot of oil under the engine will get a pic over the next few days.

I just got to wait for my new steering column to arrive then once thats on we can get on sorting theese other problems out cause at the moment i cant move my car!!
