The recent question about the activity on this net prompted me to pose a<br>
question to this valuable community.<br>
<br>
My Tiger, with less than 15K miles since fresh motor and Centerforce II<br>
clutch installation (albeit 20 yrs ago), has started to shudder<br>
uncomfortably during clutch operation. I'm able to mitigate the shudder<br>
with careful feathering of the clutch - upping the rpms and letting the<br>
clutch out more carefully, but the previously smooth release isn't there.<br>
The shudder is definitely more noticeable in 1st-2nd gear shifts. <br>
<br>
A bit of internet research says the shudder is being caused by<br>
irregular/inconsistent pressure across the surface of the pressure plate and<br>
the clutch needs to be replaced (again, and perhaps properly). It can also<br>
be caused by contaminants on the pressure plate, causing the same irregular<br>
slippage during rotation. <br>
<br>
Is this something that can be minimized through clutch adjustment at the<br>
slave cylinder? I don't have access to a lift, so would have to take to a<br>
shop to resolve. Do I bite the bullet and commit to a clutch replacement?<br>
<br>
Thanks, team! <br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>

Well if you were not on the list, your message would not have been sent to<br>
the list, but held as a non-member post. So it is safe to say you are still<br>
on the list, but traffic has been pretty slow lately.<br>
