Title: bumpy clutch?
Post by: dadsafrantic on September 27, 2008, 12:55:10 PM
i have around 29k on the original clutch.  sometimes lately i feel a little kinda bumpy bits when i am starting out in first gear.  nothing major.  i have plenty of adjustment left.  i would have to say that all but around 1700 miles have been freeway commute @ 70 mostly.  is it time to do a new clutch?

check your chain. it's likely time for a new one. tight links or a broken tooth can make it do this.
