So almost 3 years ago I purchased a 2010 base 5mt with 38k.... I'm now at 59k. For anyone out there with the manual transmission, does anyone have a problem when taking off when the car is cold? When I take off in the morning when the car is cold the clutch feels like it chatters/bangs enough where the whole car shakes it's been doing it ever since I bought the car and I'm just noticing it again because the weather is getting colder. If I ease off the clutch and ease on the gas it's ok, if I drive it normal and am a little more aggressive it'll chatter through 1st and 2nd. Once it's warmed up and driven for a while it goes away, and it really didn't do it during summer months. I've never had this happen before on any of my cars. Is this a common Fit thing? My clutch is in no way slipping or feels like it's going bad. I know that I'm not driving it bad in any way, I have an 05 TL I bought new with 140k and still on the original clutch.

 

Normal. My '09 did it from new. Give it about 300 RPM more and it'll go away.

 

Gk5 life all the way
