01 5spd Reverse Shudder ???
 

Hey guys,

Question:
I have just started to have an issue with reverse. When going to backup I put the trans in reverse and then start to backup the car shudders horribly. It feels like it wants to go reverse and forward at the same time. I found that if I hold the shifter down and towards the driver’s seat (while still in reverse) it backs up fine. Any Ideas? All other gears are fine.

what diff and clutch do you have?

stock clutch, open diff. I don't think its the same "clutch shudder" that is common. I can control when it does it with the shifter handle.

If you raise the rpm and let the clutch out very slowly does the condition change?

Disregard. Stupid forum functions.
