"Jumpy" transmission when hot, in slow traffic

[i8lufc]

Hi All,

Any ideas please? : - When on the car park = M1 or M42, in slow moving traffic and riding the clutch, the car gets hot then in frst gear mainly but a little in second gear, feels like the gearbox is going to jump out the back of the car? Lil bit worrying.

TIA, Sam.

Hi there, I get exactly the same thing. Haynes manual says this:-

Grabbing (chattering as clutch is engaged

Oil on clutch plate lining, burned or glazed facings
Worn or loose engine or transmission mountings
Worn splines on clutch plate hub
Warped pressure plate or flywheel.

I think in my case it's the mounts, it's worth a look at yours I reckon.
