car is jerky when moving

tried my car again today...
it starts good in first but
when i go to give it some gas
it jerks or lurches and kinda
vibrates around...needless to say
i came right back....
doesnt appear to be the motor mounts...
my motor sits nice and still when revved out of gear...
my clutch is still stuck...
could it possibly be trying to come loose and causing
this shuddering....maybe my pedal needs bled again to get it loose completely?........ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazyeyes.gif
 
Of course it lurches and vibrates. Revs are low low, normaly you are slipping the clutch at this point. How does it do in second, yea I know no clutch but you can match engine speed with wheel speed and slip it right in.
 
i think its clutch judder and maybe i need to rebleed my hydraulics so my pedal is in all the way...
im not done for the day yet....will let you know....
hopefully the clutch came loose and the slave isnt out all the way hence causing the juddder....
ps...didnt do this yesterday when i drove it......
 
Ahh, progress. And yes after being stuck it will need to burn in a bit.
 
bled the clutch till it is working well...
tried to drive in first and it doesnt work
anymore ; (
put it in 2nd, started it up and went for a nice
3 minute drive....no prob...still no clutch
doesnt sound good for first though...any ideas?
