Release clutch , engine chatter - Honda Prelude Forum

I have done a search on this, I will be checking with someone hopefully tomm. but I also was hoping to get you'lls opinion. This just started happening today. Its in 1st/ 2nd when I put the car in gear, give gas and normally release the clutch my engine chatters and shackes pretty bad before it accelerates. The only help I got from searching was people having problems once installing a new clutch. I was just wondering if you'll had any idea of what may be happening. I was looseing clutch fluid before, but problem stopped, then I noticed today that there was dirt built up in the bottom of my clutch fluid reseviour. Any opinions will help, thanks.

well, thats a tough one. It could be the clutch itself, or something more simple like a motor mount that is shot.

How many miles on your clutch/vehicle? Have you ever had your motor mounts replaced?

yea it does sounds like motor mounts, but does it do this chatter while shifting hard in other gears?
