Anyone one had this problem of clutch judder in 1st gear while trying to pull away? Also bad in traffic.

Thanks

 

It's a common problem with scoobies, seems to come and go on mine - worse when the car is cold, after a few miles its ok.

There is a dealer fix but but it involves fitting a part from a P1 (cant remember what exactly - try a search on clutch judder).

Most likely be hot spots on your flywheel, it is quite common

 

Yes mine is the same

I have got used to it now(worse when cold)

 

Have had the same problem too. Subaru in NZ said that it is condensation on the clutch disk or a glazed clutch. I have never had it looked at and the problem has gone away or maybe I have just adapted too it. Nothing to worry about.

 

Yep, get it every now and again in the mornings too.

Wouldn't worry too much, it goes away on mine after a few sets of traffic lights in the town, or about 5 mins driving.

 

As per the SIDC FAQ, you can usually get rid of low-grade judder with an enthusiastic standing start or two.

 

thanks everyone for putting my mind at rest.
much appreciated
