Ok guys,
this has been bugging me for A LONG TIME now...

My clutch PULSATES as I depress it when I change gears at high rpm's (also if I depress the clutch sightly it pulsates).

IS this supposed to happen? If so, to what degree?
Is my clutch worn (I just bought the car)?


Thanks.

Well my clutch is starting to go, but it doesn't pulsate, so I'd have to say no, it's not supposed to do that..

Mine has also just started to pulsate, it happens when I am excelerating hard, esp in 2nd gear (I have also only just bout the car).

Next time you are on a straight piece of road drive slowly in 2nd gear and then accelerate hard changing into 3rd - look at your taco when the clutch is pulsating - if the revs are higher than they should be then it means your clutch is slipping - i.e. on it's way out. Mine is definitely slipping but with care it should still last quite a while.
