if a clutch is bad...

would it cause a vibration when first accelerating? when i drive my car hard, or mostly launch it hard of the line...my car vibrates? just when i first accelerate and then it will go away? :???:

Maybe the pressure plate's warped?? launching many times will usually do that...

Check your CSB and your Guibo (flexdisk) for wear and looseness. Might be a simple fix.

When mine was bad I had a constant vibration whenever I was under acceleration. Just for what it's worth.

Thats nice. Ive had it at certain speeds and rpms too. ;)

Vibration only when the drive drain is subjected to high torque loads is almost always a failing CSB caused by binding u-joints in the drive shaft. The only real fix is to replace both the drive shaft and the CSB.

why does it only happen when my clutch is wamed up.

and i only launch my car like once every 5-6months. and yah i noticed when going up hills and stuff i can feel the vibration the most.

i also have a new Guibo, but not a CSB. :sad:

If the drive shaft is the cause, it may be worse once it heats up from frictional heating and from the exhaust.

It's your csb. Center support bearing. Mine did the same thing. Fix it.
