When I start off in 1st gear sometimes my truck shakes so bad it acts like the dash is gonna shake loose and sometimes it is smooth I have the four speed w/ overdrive behind a 300 six. I put in a new clutch pressure plate and throwing bearing but did not have the fly wheel checked. Any ideas why it shakes so bad. It is driving me nuts.

 

If one lets out too quickly with the clutch, even though the 300 six has enough torque to keep going without dieing, the whole vehicle will shake.

Is this your first straight shift vehicle? Try giving just a little more gas and smoothly release the clutch.

Since the flywheel was not checked [resurfaced], if not smooth, this can cause chattering.

 

Its taking off with not enough throttle. Depending on the day ive had i do it sometimes. Bucks like a bull.

 

Ive had a stick before but it may be me. I guess I just have to learn how to do it right! Thanks alot

 

Not just you. I bet you have a granny tranny right? Its just the low gear. Ive had a stick for about 19 of 21 years with a liscense. I do it too.

 

Yea JayzDaddy it has granny gear I can almost start off in second! I just have to try to get the best way to start off and do it right each time. Yea right
