Hello, so I will try my best to explain this. If I engage the clutch and hold it at the right position, it will engage just fine. However, if I engage the clutch and hold it at a position a bit higher than normal but still on the bite point, the car will violently shake for a few seconds, almost like the car is being vibrated by a giant massage gun, until the clutch engages, and then afterwards will behave in a manner where the car will sort of “hesitate”, almost like an engine braking sensation, for a moment, especially when accelerating harder. As you can tell, this mainly happens when I’m trying to accelerate harder like when accelerating onto a highway or making left turns onto a busy street, but this mainly happens when trying to go from a standstill. This doesn’t really happen when I go for short drives, but it mainly happens when I’m out doing food deliveries for my job or if I’m going for drives longer than 30 minutes. I cannot tell if this occurs only when the car gets warmer or if it’s just my feet getting slightly tired and not having much control over the pedals, but I swear it feels like I have to get it so precise in order for this to not happen, even lifting the clutch a bit higher than normal for a half second will throw the entire thing off and I have to hold the clutch at that exact bite point for what feels like a while until it engages properly, and it feels longer than it should be. I actually had my clutch replaced in January for this exact same issue, it’s just that now it’s not happening super violently, but still extremely annoying to the point that it impairs my driving a bit. There’s no way that I have to be this precise with the pedals because I remember I used to rip that shit all the time with my old clutch until it started to happen like a year ago, and replaced my clutch assembly in January, including the flywheel. Any ideas as to what this may be, and the issue still happening, even though to a lesser degree?
