Hopefully someone is able to enlighten me .
I notice on a 2007 Micra (which has done 120k miles) that if you don't give the car more revs than I have usually found needed to move a car - even a low powered one (approx 2-2.2k rpm even on the flat)) that the clutch (or maybe something else) causes vibrations and a sort of juddering noise. Any ideas? I have found that if you intentional let the clutch slips a bit more by releasing the clutch slower than usual it's not as bad. It is a similar effect to if you dump a clutch too soon in other cars or if you let a car go too slow in a high gear.
The clutch doesn't appear to slip if you go for a vigorous start or if you apply lots of revs between change, nor if you put it in a high gear from low revs. Biting point isn't high (around middle of travel or maybe a little lower).
Even on lower powered cars than this I have never seen a car need so many revs unless on a hill. Most cars should be able to set off just on the clutch (even if a bit poorly), however there is no chance this car will do that without shaking the engine out.
