Help! Car undriveable after clutch change!
Just had my car in garage yesterday to replace the clutch as was starting to grind when changing down at high revs.
Now when changing down I get a terrible judder in every change!
The garage that changed it is stumped as to what it can be!
The whole car shakes when I re-engage the clutch! Changing up seems fine so i tried changing down with 4k revs on at the same time, this seems to stop the judder. Anyone had similar? Did you solve it!? Any help appreicated as car is undriveable!

could be deposits on the flywheel which are grabby at low rpm but high rpm overcomes the grab.
have you tried a slightly enthusiastic launch yet?
this can sometimes burn off any crap on there.
best get the garage to do it though in case owt goes wrong

What did they do with the flywheel?
Take it off and skim it?
Replace it with a new one?
Left the old one as it was?
I had this problem with mine last year as I didnt change/skim the flywheel.
Some dealers insist on fitting a new flywheel with clutch change for this very reason.

Sounds like they cleaned the flywheel poorly to me.
I have had this before and my mate with a Pulsar has exactly the same problem at present as he cleaned his flywheel up with a sanding disc on an angle grinder....idiot!

I cant see it being the connection for the master cylinder.
could poss be poor flywheel condition , bad alignment of clutch, bad alignment of engine to gearbox or damaged or worn spigot bearing??
