Shudder when letting out the clutch

hey guys ive got a 2006 AC V6 6spd. Im getting a big shudder when i let my clutch out that seems like it shouldnt happen... and its not like i just learned to drive stick. It feels like the clutch plates are warped or something but the whole truck shudders if i try and let the clutch out with decent throttle (not launching it but just a quicker start than a granny).

would this be something that could be a sign of bad motor mounts?

thanks in advance!

 

Mine did this after a good amount of rain if the truck has been sitting overnight.

 

it is pooring today and it sat all day at school, but this isnt the first time its done it. maybe just how the truck is? My last (and first) car was a 6spd gti that never did it and was a much much smoother clutch. maybe im just not used to it yet?

It doesnt do it all the time which throws me off. maybe only when its cold? ill have to pay more attention to when its doing it. Im praying its not motor mounts

 

It is probably hot spots on the flywheel and pressure plate. These spots cause the clutch to grab when engaging.

it does happen when letting it out super slowly though, only quick. would the same apply?

 

Yes. Normally the faster you let out the worse it is. Yours could be not as bad yet so slow release doesn't show as bad.

 

okay. thank you!
