2018 GT 1st gear launch stutter MT82

[Enzo]

Hey guys!

I am having a interesting issue and couldn't find any information on here. Has anyone had a issue where 1st gear take off has a sort of two step stutter. It almost feels like the clutch is stuck and not letting go properly and the plates are stuttering.

Thanks!

I usually get some chatter with my oem clutch if I don't give it enough rpms before takeoff. Not sure if that is related to your post or not.

mine isn’t from that. It gets enough gas it feels more like the clutch is stuck. But I do get the chatter as well.

Sounds like the tob is not working properly.

Traction control?
Or launch control setting?

Could be, it rarely does it and when it does it’s mainly in the morning after driving it for about 30 mins on highway and then coming to local roads.

Nope just normal settings.

What does normal settings mean to you?

The way it came from factory. Nothing changed.

I'd guess your traction control might be activating and it sends a shock through your driveline
Turn of the traction control and see if it helps

You may want to look over the clutch flex hose quick connection at the fluid reservoir/ brake master.
There’s a long thread discussing how the connection isn’t properly seated from the factory assembly line that result in clutching issues.
Check it out as your first line of defense.

Sounds like you're losing pressure in the hydraulic system for the clutch to me. Check your fluid level to ensure you're not losing fluid.
