From: Paul Flansburg on 28 Apr 2010 12:33 Hello, I'm sure that this has been discussed, clutch chatter, but I have a symptom that others have not mentioned or experienced. My clutch works perfect when the ambient temperature is typically below ~70 degrees F. When the outside temperature starts to get above ~70 F then my clutch will start to chatter. I didn't have a single problem during the cooler months, but now that the temp. is rising the chatter has started again while starting in 1st gear and reverse. No other gear is effected. Any suggestions to the issue? I thought about the clutch/brake fluid getting hotter, but I'm not sure if this would cause the chatter with 1st gear or not. If something was broken, warped, sorched, or leaking I would think that the chatter would happen all of the time. Thanks, paul

Or would the broken mount cause both given the comment on the temperature? paul

Or would the broken mount cause both given the comment on the temperature? paul <JS> Operating temp of the clutch would play a larger role than the ambient temp that comes from changes in the seasons. Having said that, the mounts is essentially a block of rubber, and it the rubber was solid when cold and less solid as the air temp goes up, then I suppose the seasons could play a role. We don't have seasons here, so I never get to deal with seasonal issues. If you decide to come here, bring your passport because you'll have to drive through Arizona ... </JS.

Check the clutch slave cylinder on the bell housing to make sure it is not hanging up. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)
