cold clutch studdering

[typhoonorchid]

The last few mornings, First thing, when my car is cold, I've had like a studdering feeling when engaging clutch. Power not getting to the ground. Almost feels like when the street is greasy wet, and the tires are slipping. I'm sure it must be the clutch slipping. Once the clutch has warmed up, no problem. (25K on my '05)

Any others have this?

This has been discussed before, it is a normal built in safeguard till the cars fluids are well warmed up and distributed. that way there is no damage from someone laying rubber fist thing out of the box.

I've never heard of it being a 'feature,' but every car I've had has a bit of clutch shudder when cold. It's just normal, I think (hope?).

why would it be doing it now after 25k miles and not since new.

a friend of mine had a 05 with about 30k and his did it.
mine doesn't do it, never has, ive got just over 20k.

Mine started doing it last year. I currently have 39K on the odometer! I too read somewhere that this was "normal"... :ponder:

I also heard it was "normal"... condensation or something. Same as how your brakes are also a little weird first thing in the morning.

Hasn't really done it since the few times before I made this thread. I'll have to see if it returns.
