engine shaking when coming out of first

this problem only occurs when i'm in the city, doing lots of stop and go driving. at some point -- after the engine's fully warmed up -- i'll let the clutch out slowly in first and the whole engine and drivetrain seem to shake like mad. it doesn't keep shaking once i get it moving -- only when coming out of first.

is this an example of 'clutch shudder'? i have no idea what that is. and why does this happen only when the engine is warm? could it be the flywheel or something in the driveshaft (guibo)?

thanks,

Mike (73tii)

Only after repeated stop and go driving in the city, or highway gridlock. Shakes the hell out of the shifter, and the whole damn car. Not to mention it makes me look like a rookie driver!

I've got all new mounts, new guibo, and a new(used) driveshaft. The only component left is the clutch. I figure it is clutch chatter, but I'm not sure why. Rest of the time, the clutch is grand. I don't worry about it too much.

Usually chattering that occurs when the clutch is initially engaged is from contamination on the disc or flywheel or because the flywheel wasn't re-surfaced last time the clutch was replaced. The surface needs to be true with the proper "step" for the clutch to work properly.

If oil leaks from the rear mail seal or trans and gets on the flywheel it will cause those symptoms.

My Ford Tempo (getting rid of it once the M20's in) does the same thing, and the throwout bearing makes a bunch of noise. That is my guess about the cause.

My bearing is nice and quiet, and I've got no leaks anywhere, so therfore no contaminated clutch disc. It only does this after a couple dozen stop and go's in heavy traffic. I've seen it in a few other 02's as well. I'm not worried about it, as it's been this way for the 2 years I've owned it. No big deal.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
