Hi all,
I recently bought an '05 FXT (5mt) on which the previous owner installed an Exedy Stage 1 clutch. The clutch had less than 100 miles on it when I bought the car. I drove it back home about 300 miles (although basically all highway). I've noticed that it is really hard for me to start the car from a dead stop smoothly without experiencing almost a chatter / judder from the car as I'm taking off. Transmission is buttery smooth in all shifts (1-2, 2-3, etc.) and reverse feels pretty good too. Could this be due to me still being within the "break-in" period of the new clutch? Transmission fluid change? Type of clutch?
Thanks for any help that you can offer!
