So I've had the Mcleod RXT in for about 2 months now, however I notice if I take off at about 1000-1200rpms (like in traffic moving slowly) the car at times will shudder and at other times a "bang" will come from the rear of the car, and it seems like the wheels "hop", I'll instantly push the clutch back in because it freaks me out, then let it out and just continue going.
If I add 400-500 more revs, then it does not chatter, I just spin tires from every stop. Letting it out slower seems to make the car shudder more when giving it just a little gas, just using the clutch to pull the car does not cause shuddering what so ever.
When it does shudder it rocks the whole car, and as I said at times when starting off with just about 1000-1100rpms of power, it shudders, then at times bangs at the rear of the car, and it feels as if there is "wheel hop" which is weird.
Now, if I give it more power (more than I need esp when moving up 1-2 cars) it will not do this.
Is this clutch chatter, and what am I doing wrong? Not enough gas? I'm at about 1500 miles on the new clutch, maybe 2000.
Thanks, I'm hoping it's nothing major as I'd hate to have to have Ford take it apart and re-adjust everything. Should point out I only get this chatter when starting at lower rpms, and when reversing at lower rpms. With higher rpms, it is smoother, but I feel like I'm giving it more power than it needs, just to avoid chatter, though by all means correct me guys.
