When I first start my evo, I put it in to reverse and begin to back up. It seeme to shake a little bit, both in reverse and 1st gear. The problem seems to go away when the car warms up. Is the clutch messed up. The car is pretty pampered and only a month old.

 

That 'shudder' you get is a common Mitsu issue. The only solution I know of is to let the car warm up.

Yeah, what's up with that. Backing out when it's cold, you have to really feather the clutch and rev to get it smooth. It's fine when you drive a few blocks and warm it up.

 

 

Same problem here and thats what i thought. just worm it up for 5 min

 

Bringing back this thread..........

Even if i warm up my car for 10 minutes i will still get this chatter pretty bad in first or reverse. And it doesn't go away.....just gets better as i drive more and more.

New stock clutch installed less than 5000 miles ago. NEVER LAUNCHED or abused.
