Good afternoon all ...:hug:..... problem with the saxo, its juddering/shaking/bouncing ( dunno if that will describe it properley) slightly...... happens more often when the cars revs are low (find it more often in 4th gear for some reason) and the car is cold... any ideas???? The clutch has been mentioned by another friend... is this the only thing it could be?? Sometimes it doesnt happen atall, then other times it happens alot... puzzled

Forgot to mention also, seems to lose power when its juddering,i.e i put the foot down and the response is slow... did a search on this, but the only threads i could find didnt really diagnose what it may be..... all i could find was something to do with the air box and plugs??? yes? no?? help would be appreciated !

thats the driveshafts mate! its trying to grip the gearbox but basically its slipping,so either gearbox or shafts are passed there sel by date im afriad,the teeth are worn hence losing power!
