my 2000 wrx did something weird the other day just after getting a turbo timer installed. i was taking off slowly from a stop sign bout 3k rpm and released clutch slowly, the car shuddered so i put the clutch back in and gave it higher revs around 4-4.5krpm and released the clutch slowly it then shuddered like it was going to stall, i put the clutch back in and tryed to take off again and was fine, i have been driving it for a few days whith no problems and no shuddering to speak of and then today it did the same thing except today it smelt like something was burning. just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

warped flywheel shuddering, clutch burning. mabey stop riding clutch at 4000rpm ? lol

but it does it twice then stops, i only put it up to that higher rpm cause it felt like it was going to stall at lower revs. it wasnt so much shuddering, it just felt like it was going to stall

still hard to say without experiencing it myself...

yeh i know it was just wierd because ive felt a clutch thats been warped and that shuddered all the time but this just happened twice then goes away.

Flywheel fail?

in some situations warped flywheel shudder will only happen when the vehicle is cold and goes away when warm.. was ur engine cold on the said 2 occasions ?

last week was, today i had driven to coles which is aprox 1km away, i sat in the carpark with the car idling for 5min while my girlfriend got some stuff, it then had the incident as i went to leave the carpark

hmmm, this still could be the issue because the car idling for 5 mins might not of heated the flywheel enough for it not to shudder. but thats my input anyway...
