Title: Vectra clutch judder on take off
Post by: terry paget on 26 October 2019, 14:05:53: 2008 Vectra 1.8 petrol manual
On pullimg away I experience some clutch judder, something I have not suffered for years. In the past the usual cause was engine mountng loose or soft. Might it be anything else?

Thanks. Yes, could well be, but sounds like a gearbox off job, so I will live with it. Clutch does not slip. I will check the engine mountings, though, one might be torn, or even loose.

Not sure if the 1.8 has a DMF or not.

Hydraulic clutch on those...

Also, no DMF ;)

No idea. I haven't changed it yet. Could that cause a clutch judder?
