dannymac900 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 hello, i have just joined the forums today searching for some help on my 2004, 1.8 mk3 mondeo i bought the car about 3 weeks ago and since buying it it has been shuddering under acceleration normally when i reach around 40mph mainly happens in 3rd and 4th and when i get fast enough in 5th that too....when i take my foot off the accelerator it stops, ive had it to my friend (mechanic) and he had a good look over the drive shafts etc and checked the wheels etc he finally diagnosed the problem as 1 of two things, 1. the pressure plate OR 2. the flywheel... atm i cant really afford to do either atm so have left it but just the other day i had noticed i was doing about 55mph in 4th with no shuddering it lasted a few days at that before retuning to normal...it has left both me and my mechanic stumped though he stll thinks clutch/gearbox/flywheel issues so i thought i'd take it to the forums and see if anyone could recommend anything atall *edit* the clutch is somewhat spongy though my friend thinks its because of bent fins on the pressure plate thanks alot in advance Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooge75 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 i had a problem like yours before,& i changed the dmf at great expense,only to find the original problem was dodgy mounts but i have to say,it most probably is clutch/fw related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
