Welcome :D :D :D

If you've just bought your IS200 then maybe your just not quite used to the clutch yet? Took me some time to get used to mine - just give it abit more revs before releasing the clutch gently (hope I don't sound patronising )

Is this the famous clutch judder I've heard so much about? The reason I ask is that I test drove an IS200 last night which had a bit of a shudder. However, I was pushing it quite hard (hard gear changes, no slippage on the clutch, hard acceleration) to make sure I'd feel it if the car had it, and the shudder was only very slight. Possibly simply due to bad gear changes, in fact....

Is this ok or is it a bad thing in peoples' opinions?

This also happens in my IS sport and it happened in my last IS se.

I thought it was due to oil getting on the clutch in my last car as my SE was scrap and burnt a lot of oil

Since it is still happening in my sport and my sport has a Helix uprated clutch I now know that it is just a characteristic of these cars!

You will get used to it and Anees is right about the revving!

Can all those who have this clutch judder try turning off the aircon and tell me if it still happens?

I found that just putting on a diferent exhaust helped too.

[gsportcars]

Still happens with aircon on and off!!!

And with different exhaust!!

takes time to get used to i reckon...

i had the same problem... thought it was the car... but now, i'm used to it, it's a smooth takeoff... everytime!

I managed to get the clutch and flywheel changed on my Sport at the 40k service. It eliminated the judder completely. I think the flywheel is a weak spot on these cars. Also the gearbox oil was replaced. This made gear changes in the morning alot better.
