    Mine now has 9k and completely stock. I don't do a ton of hill starts and mostly highway and some rural driving. But when I start out in 1st slipping the clutch as normal and minimal. I get a little shudder, stutter, slip, slipping ( just for folks to pick up in their search). It seems to not happen when I get it up in RPM but if I take off gently from hill below 1400 rpm it will do it. This doesn't make sense to me because the torque in this torque monster is nothing at that rpm to slip the clutch. Unless I'm looking at this incorrectly, any ideas?

    I have that slipping stutter feeling too, not all the time, which is why i find it odd.

    I have the stutter as well. Toyota replaced my clutch at 6,000km due to my complaints, which improved it significantly, but its definitely still there slightly.

    yep..
    Maybe releasing the clutch too fast? That's what happens to me with low rpms and too much grab. Starts to shudder.

    Definitely not letting off to fast, clutch isn't even fully released when it happens.

    Yep, in my case it was a very obvious slip, grab, slip, grab, slip, grab. Which was improved by letting off the clutch quicker so it would slip less.

    Well, I have my 10k check up soon. I'll let them know that as well as the clutch pedal sticking now that it's colder in the morning and the seeping diff. Aside from those things, trucks been great

    Clutch shudder can be caused by a warped flywheel which can be a result of excessive heat. Other causes can be a contaminated disc or a bad pilot bearing. When you take it in for warranty make sure they machine the flywheel and change the pilot bearing.
