Subject:      shuddering clutch
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I am just wondering what the list might think is going on with my clutch. sometimes when I am letting it out, the whole back end of the van just starts shuddering, until I let the clutch slip a bit and then it will stop, this all happens pretty quick. So I am thinking I need to replace the clutch and have the flywheel machined. Would I be correct in thinking this? I have read something about that in the archives. other times, like just now coming back from lunch, it did not show these symtoms. I would have thought it would be fairly consistant. another question would be, how do you guys lower the tranny on a hydraulic jack without the thing just falling off the jack? it looks pretty heavy to me and I would think it not good to just fall off on the ground....thanks for any help with these questions
