« on: February 14, 2005, 12:32:23 am »
ok my girlfriend has a 2001 mazda miata. when you go to take off in first gear it has a shutter but is fine as soon as you accelerate and only happens in 1st gear . could it be a broken or worn out mount . would be great if someone can help me out on some things to check

For experienced troubleshootong you may want to try a Miata forum, but let me take a go at it.

Is it a stock clutch?  Does it do it no matter what RPM you let the clutch out at?  How many KM's on clutch?

For future, it is in your best interest to format your posts so that someone does not need to figure out your grammar and punctuation.

To me it sounds like clutch chatter.  It is best to ask some Miata guys as it could only be an adjustment issue.

As for where to look, there are these things called Search Engines, you could consider using one.   :wink:
