Clutch judder

My car had started juddering on the clutch in reverse all other gears are ok & clutch diusnt slip, seems ok.

Also popping out of 1st gear if im in traffic if im cralining & come off the throttle. Onlys started doing tgis today?

Any ideas?

Are the gearbox mounts ok? Weak or knackered mounts can cause the jumping out of gear problem.

Could well be, ill check it tomorrow. Fingers crossed it is just that

Yeah as above also check the front and rear stabiliser mounts gaz

Ill check them tomorrow, & let you know bob so you can bring 1 home with you at weekend

i hate to be the teller of bad news but this exact thing happened to me and it was a bearing fail in the box. I replaced all the engine and gearbox mounts it just delayed extreme shudder in reverse and i couldn't even force hold it in first gear

i don't know the technical terms but one large bearing got worn out which meant that one of the shafts would move slightly sideways. Just enough for two cogs which should never touch on opposite shafts to clip each other hence spitting it out of gear and in reverse two other cogs rubbing together causing shudder. The cogs that touched were trashed.

I hope I'm wrong but i do fear the worst. The symptoms you mention are identical and engine mounts etc just delayed my second pulsar gearbox swap... You might be able to save yours if you swap it out now and inspect it

good luck!

(this reminds me i never inserted the pictures in the 'how-to' gearbox swap, must get on to that)

I think he only just swapped the box with the help of sir dave ...

Any update Gaz?

No mate got bigger probs now, as I broke down last nite due to fuel pump failing so need to get a new pump first   

Bugger...

Can you still get the front and rear stabiliser bars from nissan?
If so are they expensive

Use secondhand ones and fill the voids with silicone it strengthens them up hugely but still allows some movement and will cost you nothing to do   



GAZ did you try the pump out direct from a battery?

Yes mate, got it out & put it in a bowl of fuel, its spinning put not pumping any fuel threw.. So it fubard!

Make sure you don't get one of those mickey mose fake one
I've thrown 3of the fookers away recently, there shite

Must be a month for it as i fooked mine the other day but that was mostly my error as i snapped the pick up clean off ....getting it out ....

No ill buy new from a reputable dealer

says they give a 2 year garuntee with walbro fuel pumps .... ive been looking for one myself gaz....

Yeh its ebay Leighton, I don't trust anything to be genuine off there, espeacialy ebay shops, Id rather ring a motorsport shop up as you know it will be a genuine part

They actually do have there own shop other than ebay and make fuel pumps themselfs ..... i checked out the company and reviews on other sites seem to have a good reputation mate ...

ahh ok ill look in to it then

this is there normal website .... they also do there own version of the walbro .... wich is da-25 ..... only £40 wich maybe i was considering as budget has hit the floor ....

DAVID YOU HALF WIT.....

whilst the car is off the road because of fuel pump ive just done a few other jobs like rocker gasket & checked engine mounts to see if it was my clutch judder issue & why it was popping out of 1st gear!

Anyway all seemed fine until I got to the rear mount that bolts on to the transfer box... it was loose & flopping about! & there is only 1 bolt holding it in place   

Now when we replaced my gearbox I distinctively remember you David doing up the mounts you little batty boy... What use is 1 bolt going to do   

Bobby isn't going to be happy with you... Cowboy mechanic or what!

At least you found the problem and it was nothing expensive

Could of been expensive thanks to David   

Just punch his head in Gaz, luckily you found what it was before any damage done.

He will blame Karl for fetching him whilst he was doing the mount, ruined his concentration
