Default Shuddering in drive with foot on brake!??

hmmmm started her up from cold and selected drive with foot on the brake and the car started shuddering,

it pulled away ok drove for a minute stopped at lights and with foot on brake and it was still doing it, after about a 15 minute drive everything was ok,

its never done this before i have only had the car 8 month and done about 3500 miles and this is the first issue around the transmission i have had!

is it time to sell on? or am i just playing russian roulette??

Richy

Hi m8 box was servised a few thousand mile back currently on around 160500 miles,

I have a feeling its not the box now and it looks like its pointing to a slight rough idle when started from cold because when drive is selected with foot on the brake the idle is amplified through the box to give a shudder.

Could just be a one off, especially if it's never done it before. Maybe even due to duff fuel.

Thumbs up Fixed!

OK i fixed the problem, starting off with replacing the fuel filter then HT leads and finally the one that won 1st place >>> replaced the spark plugs <<<

Now she runs like a dream on Denso iridium power plugs gaped at 1mm.

Good news!

Nice when a fix is fairly simple and not expensive.

BTW, have you decided if you're coming to the Annual meet next month? PMs don't seem to be getting any response.
