Hi everyone. I'm looking for any good information regarding the shudder issue that has inhabited this clutch on my 2015 Focus SE.
I bought this great car with a little over 30k during the winter months and did not realize the shudder wasn't the tires slipping on the icy road surface. I know that Ford has fixed many of these cars with the shudder but mine is not eligible because of the "Rebuilt" title. The clutch isn't worn out as it doesn't actually slip. At times, the car doesn't exhibit the problem at all but as the transmission gets heat soaked it gets the shakes upon acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear. I find that letting letting off the gas for a moment minimizes the shudder. I'm just wondering if anyone here has any other suggestions on how to deal with this issue.
