So ever since I lowered my car I started developing this clutch chatter. Now I am not sure how thats related but it has me wondering if it was just coincidence or the lowering caused it. The car has 24k miles and drives great. It shakes if i feather the clutch in first gear only. Other than that, there is no strange noises or slippage. Anybody have similar issue? I am thinking my clutch glazed

Interesting, its not doing it now. Seems to do it more when it warms up from repeated use. It was doing it this morning.

It seems like the 5.0 really likes to be warmed up before driving. More so than other cars I've owned. I noticed a little "chatter" when I took off a couple of mornings ago. It was cold and I didn't let the car fully warm up. When I fully let out of first gear it did the chatter and a little when going to second. I haven't noticed it since.

Thanks for the replies. So far the chatter is gone, seems like this is a common occurrence. It seems like the chatter happens when the right conditions exist. Cold weather seems like a big factor.

And it only happens for 2 days lol. I wonder if it's just a part of the clutch breaking in? This is my first brand new car so I don't have anything else to compare it to...

My first manual car was a ford probe, I put a new clutch on it and there was a period that the clutch chattered. But as the clutch worn in the chatter went away. Well anyways im glad it went away, when it started it was getting worse and worse then just disappeared lol

The dealer said I would have to agree to a $150 diagnosing fee if it turned out to be the clutch as it would not be covered by the warranty. They said the same with the rough idle problem. If I had know this I would not have bothered getting the esp.

Well clutch is a wear item most likely they wont cover it just like brakes. But rough idle they cant be charging you anything up front or after the repair, thats bull****.

Oh, ok. You’re very welcome, Wild5.0. This is normal, trackpack13gt. Under most state laws, a dealership's service department is entitled to ask for payment of a diagnostic fee which covers the labor cost to determine the cause of a vehicle's concern. Upon diagnosis, if the repair is covered under an applicable warranty, extended service plan, recall, or customer satisfaction program, it is customary for the diagnostic fee to be waived. Deysha

My car is currently at the dealership for this right now. It doesn't happen all the time, and only in first gear. After all day with it, the dealership called and told me there was no oil leaking on the housing so whatever was causing the issue was internal not going to be covered under warranty. I still don't know what is wrong with the clutch, and even if i did want them to take it apart to diagnose the issue, the clutch itself is on back order for a couple months.
I dont know what to do! I am worried that if i buy a different clutch and have it installed, it would void the rest of my powertrain warranty, but I really wanted to take the car to florida next month.
