Yeah I started hearing a slight shuttering sound when I start my truck now after it's been sitting for awhile. I might have to replace my clutch soon. I'm going to try greasing the throwout bearing tomorrow to see if that solves the problem. I'm also putting in a new starter and battery because it's not starting as easily as it used to.

I put in the new starter and the shuttering sound is gone. Guess my old starter was almost on its last leg.
