ideas?? Aaron

the bowden tube (at least I think that's what it's called) probably needs adjusting, that fixed mine

I’m with Donn, it’s almost always the Bowden tube.
Once that’s done the next one is that the bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel are done up too tight. I know it sounds strange but
it’s true, easy mistake. They need to done up nice and softly with a tension wrench, or the clutch shudders, strange but true. I hope that’s not
it.
Good Luck
Tony

You know, I was getting a lot of clutch shudder recently too. Usually as I was taking off from a standing start, particularly uphill. I had reason
to adjust the mixture settings on my carb recently as I was running too rich. Now the shuddering has pretty much gone.

Clutch cable tube needs an s bend in it, undo the clutch cable at the gear box and add a few washers to the clutch conduit tube (Bowden) this should
sort it.
