Hi, I have just replaced my clutch for the second time in four months. This time they replaced the release bearing and the pivot bearing, and machined the flywheel.

The master cylinder was also changed five months ago.

The car shudders taking off in first, especially, after starting up cold in the morning. But when the engine is heated up it goes away.

I am almost in tears, I have spent so much money on the car already.

The flywheel wheel was machined, but there still is clutch shudder. I do not want to to damage a new master cylinder or a new, second clutch. I only wish I knew what causes it so I can fix it.

Was the flywheel and pressure plate balanced together? They are supposed to be balanced together and then usually there is a mark on each to lign up.
