Wots a clutch ??   ;D ;D ;D
Think it's what holds the lead in a propelling pencil mate.

Not something we have to concern ourselves with then.  ;D
What kind of manager are you if you don't have a propelling pencil?

The sort who gets his staff to do the writing.  ;) Being a union rep, you should know that the management do the talking.  ;D ;D ;D
Quite true, but it's usually quite muffled as it comes from their nether regions.  ;D ;D

Funny you should say that. Since I've passed 40 I've noticed that there is a lot more noise from that area.  ;D ;D ;D

(By the way, hopefully Tony should get his parcel tomorrow.)

Tut Tut James, blaming the clutch before you have any evidence what so ever that it is this at fault......

I fitted a Ferrodo clutch to my car, fitted with everything completely clean. I now have a slight clutch judder.

No urgency, however In the summer, I will fit an R28 box with a genuine clutch... and new spigot..

A ferodo one should be OK, I'd have thought :-/
Not got a loose engine / gearbox mount?
Water / oil leak into bellhousing? No evidence of fluids underneath?

Who pulled your chain...... :P

My theory is this

A) The clutch was fitted squeaky clean, and there are no leaks, so I very very much doubt contamination.

B) Engine/gearbox mount crossed my mind - however it didn't judder before the clutch change - only after. Be a big co-incidence if it failed at the same time - plus - I can't feel any excessive play in any mounts.

C) Relesase nearing is also new

Any other suggestions more than welcome, though :y

What could be done about too much endfloat? I don't care to think about that  :-X

The Spigot - felt absolutely fine by hand, hence not changing it...

There's normally a thrust washer built into one of the main bearings to control endfloat. I'm sure it's not that, though. It would have been there before you changed the clutch.

Ahh, OK. I was wondering if you took it out. Some people in such circumstances might be prone to forget to fit the new one and would therefore get clutch judder - so a man down the pub told me ::) Then again, if it was driving Ok when you first put it back together and it's started juddering since, that one's unlikely too.

I might be inclined to see what develops for a few K. Maybe it will go away again as it all beds in. How many miles has it done since the change?
