Accelerator pedal judder when letting out clutch

wstevens · 01-09-2009, 12:10 PM

I've got a 335i 6MT with 13k miles and I just started feeling a weird accelerator pedal judder when I let out the clutch. The car doesn't vibrate or hesitate - it just feels like the accelerator pedal itself is hiccuping.

Any ideas?

Had the same exact problem. Burn your clutch a bit (seriously) by revving high as you release your clutch. Do it a couple of times (not in traffic). Logic behind this is evening out hotspots in your clutch plate.
