Default C1 Vibration
Anyone available to advise me on my 1960 Covette
Car sometimes shakes pretty bad when first starting off ( in first gear)
Doesn't always do it but just when I think it's gone ,I 'll start of off and it shakes until the clutch is fully engaged.
Any thoughts??
Many thanks

Time for a clutch rebuild. Sounds like hot spots on the pressure plate and flywheel.

Start by making sure your clutch is properly adjusted and that all clutch components are in good shape.
