# lousy enter key... anyway it is very inconsistent, and the metal clanging is what i'm actually concerned about here.

Let me describe in better detail... Let's say i'm in reverse, pulling out of my driveway. sometimes it is nice and smooth, but others it seems to slip/studder more and thats when the car shakes as i let the clutch out. clutch in a little and it smooths out. normal behavior for a stick shift? hell i dunno. do i just allow more slip until everything gets up to speed? help a newbie retard out here ;]

and i'm sure someone is going to tell me that the clanging could be anything in there that is somewhat loose being shaken around, but like i said this isn't a consistent thing (and i am pretty consistent with my clutchwork so there.)

i guess the short description is "when clutch slips, car shakes."

: : : When it does get the shakes, i can hear a metallic clattering/clanging sort of sound as well. It doesnt always shake but when it does, whoa boy.
