Re: 164 clutch shudder

Zack,

I feel like a detective trying to put together the pieces.  Since my problem did not appear immediately after the clutch job; has disappeared briefly  and come back; I am suspecting something external to the clutch.  The S has a special damper in the hydraulic system.  That and the overall clutch release system is the focus of my thinking.  Right now that's all I am doing.  I am hoping some sharp "digesters" can diagnose this one.

  I have a annoying shudder when I let out the clutch on my 91 164.  It can be minimized with by feathering the clutch a bit but it is not as it should be.  When I replaced the clutch about 8 months ago,  all seemed OK.  Shudder seemed to start after the clutch r/r but not right after.  (Flywheel seem ok from visual and finger inspection.)  Anyone with a similar experience and/or solution. 

   

  Thanks,

  Don- I noticed this same exact thing after having the clutch replaced in my 164S.  Please let me know if you find a solution to the problem.  I had my flywheel replaced as well.

   

  Thanks,

  Zach
