    if the car wasn't in an accident (with all the possibilities that brings up in diagnosis) you could also have a little bit of clutch shudder.

    maybe some dust on the plate or spring.

    try a good solid downshift and see if the same thing happens.

    yeah, I meant hypothetically. those symptoms without the knowledge of an accident could suggest clutch shudder.

    because it was in an accident you naturally troubleshoot based on the knowledge that it was in an wreck. theres also the possibility (however slim) that the problem has nothing to do with the accident and would have happened anyway.

    just good to keep a dual natured frame of mind.




    does it also shake if you accellerate while turning right or left?
