Clutch problem when it's warmed up

Might be contaminated with oil, possibly due to a leaking rear main seal.

One probable cause is that when the clutch was installed ,stress was placed on the clutch centre on installation.One way to check this is to slip the clutch at stand still,by that I mean.Start the vehicle put it in gear and pull on the hand brake,let the clutch out until it slips or until it nearly stalls,do this a couple of times and then check your shudder.If your shudder dissapears you know that this is the problem,sometimes this practice completely erradicates the shudder.But if the damage is great the shudder will return after some use,then the only fix is another plate installation. Hope this is some assistance to you greendog

GD,

I don't profess to be an authority of any sort about clutches - but my dad always says "clutch problems - check your engine mounts". Although it's pretty co-incidental that a brand new clutch was just installed.

One more thing for you to check I guess (you never know, it could be co-incidental that a mount has let go just now).

I hope this helps.

Yep check the mounts first agreed Baz
