JUDDER – Caused by a warped friction plate or broken engine or gearbox mounts. The vehicle seems to shudder as it moves from rest.

DRAG – Clutch cable not correctly adjusted will cause drag making it difficult to obtain gear, especially in low gears.

Common point of failure on modern diesels and petrol engine cars. Most common defects include rattling from the gearbox / clutch area when idling.

Vibration / feedback through clutch pedal when operating clutch.

Starting / starter motor problems due to debris from failing dual mass flywheel being attracted to magnets within starter motor.
