> [@Samsara](#): > > **and by the way Newman** , I don’t know what exactly is causing it either but its something in my clutch assembly. when the clutch is cold the car jerks hard, and it stops when warm; but the car does seem very slow. I ran out 4th gear on the way to get my hair cut today and got MAJOR clutch smell, took like 3 min with windows open to clear it out. there is also a chatter. Im thinking somthing with pressure plate. So there is no more conversation about this…thing is messed, I’ll get a new clutch kit…done. Also, my friend _Alex_ was over and saw one of your post, he said he sees you around and gave you a :tup:. he goes to a lot of shows, I think that’s where he knows you from. I showed him your post about the bait stores and he was crackin’ up. alex byrne? Other things that it could be: throwout bearing/clutch disengagement fork causing the plate to engagage irregularly… remember to thoroughly clean and lubricate the ball pivot and the thowout bearing guide. Also, inspect for wear on the fork. On my old maxima, the clutch slave used to stick occaisionally too. Check that for free movement as well. one other thing… this would be a stretch… The car feels slower? Ok. It could be that the ebrake is sticking. This would cause jerky starts and make the engagement of the clutch harsher. It would also go away as the rear pads heated up and began to liquefy. Brakes smell alot like clutch… just an out there idea to look into before you pull the transmission… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/got-a-few-tickets-tonight/19260)._
