this has been ____ing me off....whenever i floor 1st gear, it always shakes (like it's slipping then trying to catch grip then slipping and so on) and i'm not even spinning the tires when i take off. my tires are good and the ground isn't wet or anything....i'm just curious on to what could be the problem (besides my lead foot)? i was thinking maybe the clutch cause it slipped a few times recently and i think the clutch may be grabbing and slipping....idk, what do you guys think?

mattieg

ummmm wow. So how many miles are on the car?

silverstreaktc

30k but i don't extactly drive like a grandma

mattieg

stick or auto? You said clutch so i assume your stick... and i will have to agree on it being the clutch.

Sounds like a slipping clutch.

You must have really beat on it to burn it out at 30K.

mattieg

ya no joke, you would have to beat the ____ out of it. Or maybe you learned driving stick on it.

SILVERredLIPtC

is this shaking a soft shaking or vigorous?

OneJay

lol my stock clutch lasted until 120k. It could be the clutch if you really beat on it.

silverstreaktc

it only shakes when i floor it in 1st gear. but i mean shaking as in when you spin the tires and it tries to get grip. that kind of shaking. know what i mean? not leterally shaking left to right or anything. and yes i do beat the ____ out of it sometimes

Also with colder temps out your tires are harder,there for not as sticky,and probably losing grip a bit then catching,which in turn can hammer on a clutch.......you gotta learn to let out the clutch better......dont just drop it and go........feather it a bit.

SILVERredLIPtC

does if feel like the car is shaking up and down hard?
my car does that when my tires catch then spin then cath then spin it feels like its jumping a half inch of the ground every time lol.

silverstreaktc

i dont' just drop it. even if i take off "conservatively" so to speak. i guess cause it is cold cause i don't really drive like a dousche when it's cold outside.



this thread is pretty much about how i can perfect me being a douschebag on the roads.

silverstreaktc

what silverredliptc just said before my last statement. that's what is happening.

SILVERredLIPtC

yea its probably because your tires slip then catch. kinda feels like your breaking it right lol?

silverstreaktc

yeah something like that.

mattieg

dont beat on your car so much lmao

silverstreaktc

lol i can't help it.

Astoria

wheel hop?

kileil

Probably just wheel hop like guys above suggested. Its not like you're going to hear movie-style squealing tires on stock tires in the cold.

You've said you're flooring it in 1st, and when its chilly out even spinning through 2nd is easy to do..

silverstreaktc

yeah i tried it today and even tho its colder, the tires were much much better....man i gotta stop driving like a dousche....
