Re: vibrates when backing up
Sounds like clutch chatter.
If so, I would not worry about it.

Re: vibrates when backing up
Mine used to do that also. Clutch chatter. I realized I was slipping the clutch more in reverse than first gear to control my speed while backing up. Now I just let it fully out like I do when going forward and all is OK. No more clutch chatter. It may work for you.

Re: vibrates when backing up
Have the same problem in our 1929.
Only when backing. New clutch, pressure plate, pilot and throw out bearings. Going forward it is fine. I just live with it. Slip the clutch with very little gas and it’s not an issue. Enjoy. |

Re: vibrates when backing up
I always assume the multiplate clutch is more likely to do this, but obviously it happens with single plate clutches too
