My 2005 6MT recently developed a clutch chatter when accelerating from a stand still. It happens more frequently when starting up a hill.

I searched the forums on the problem and noticed that a lot of owners have the same issue. I also noticed that a 90% of the posts were from people with 2005 6MTs.

Can you please post if you have the problem, the year of your car, what you have done to resolve the problem, and if the dealer has fixed it?

 

i get it too. i have a 03.

 

I get it too. Its an 06 6MT

.

 

I've had it since day 1, I have a 06 6MT Coupe. Dealer said it was normal, some louder than other though. I will love to know if someone had their dealer take care of it.

 

I got an 06 and have that problem... Just gotta take off at a higher RPM...

 

same here. 05 coupe and i just have to give it a little more gas. i notice if the clutch engagement is a little quicker with a little more gas, then it's smoother. but not too quick or you're likely to kill it.

 

I have it on my 03. Still on the original clutch....

 

04 6mt samething, but i noticed it's all how you do the gas and the clutch. our clutches are grabby and they dont grab fully till the pedal is high up.not like my old civic where it grabbed on right as soon as you let off the pedal.and down shifting is your friend! keeps a nice scrub on the clutch.ive only had the car for 3 weeks and since i started down shifting the clutch engagement has gotten TONS smoother.

 

i have it EXPECIALLY after getting my JWT Clutch and Flywheel installed

 

Yep, my 05 has always had it as well. But its only really bad when i engage the clutch slowly. If I either hit it hard and release the clutch quickly, or if I give barely any gas at all and release the clutch semi-slowly I cannot hear it at all.

 

I have the same thing, and im happy to know im not crazy!! my girlfriend has an STI and let me tell you, that manual is so much easier to drive than my 06 MT.

 

Same problem on my 04 6MT. Took mine to the dealer and problem is solved.

 

i got an 06 and it happens every now and then but its usually cause of the driver. just practice engagaing i suppose and feeling for the spot.

 

What did the dealer do to solve the problem?

 

they had him trade it in and they put him into an automatic
