Bad Clutch or is it something else??

[dsm03]

Recently my talon has been jerking when I drive, Usually when i take my foot of the gas

so i thought it might have been my cv axle. It hasnt made any clicking noises to sound

like the cv axle going bad but I just took it to a shop and they said it could be my clutch,

There isnt any vacuum leaks or clutch line leaks. So, I dont know what the problem could

be.. Anybody have an idea what could be the prolem??

Usually when a clutch starts to go it will slip real bad. Jerking can be all types of issues, can you explain better what it does. With no load does the motor rev freely?

when my clutch went a month ago right be for i spun the center out of it it would buck when i let off the gas. If that helps any.

i think its going to be something else because if your clutch isnt slipping then it is doing its job.

yeah i definately think its the clutch now.... it jerks when i let off the clutch and i feel a bit of slipping if im not mistaken, and now i have to rev at least to 2k rpms just to get it going so im pretty sure thats what it is... one other thing to the rpms drop at certain times almost wanting to stall and the headlight dims... related issue?? i was thinking it could be my IAC

1st sounds like your clutch

2nd sounds like you have a boost leak (such as your recirc tube slipping off) or you have the ac condensor on and let the rpms jump from say 4k to 1k and the motor cant catch itself in time. Happens all the time with my eclipse, i just get in the habit of turning off the condensor before stopping i do it without thinking

okay, I have a similar problem with a N/A GS, it jerks when I let off after I've been driving for a while, and backfires sometimes, no turbo no leaks, i can't figure it out.

Is it jerking just after you release the clutch pedal throught all gears or just when you taking off from first?

I didn't see anywhere in your post where you stated what kind of clutch you have.. Is it just a stock one or something aftermarket?

 

[dsm03]

its a stock clutch and even when i just cruise usually at low speeds coasting it jerks... i dont know what it could be
