Default Clutch/flywheel

im begining to think my flywheel is going. from a stop when im releasing the clutch its very shaky and rough so correct me if im wrong but that would be the flywheel right? clutch seems fine when moving and going into other gears its only from a dead stop.


also anyone know or have any advice on what kit to go with if i do need a new one?

This is called clutch chatter. Try giving the car a bit more gas and releasing the clutch more slowly. If this doesn't help, the clutch needs serviced - likely the friction material or less likely the flywheel.

If your clutch fluid has not been changed, try the "Ranger Method" - it can improve overall clutch feel but not fix chatter.
