Ford Focus (x reg) judders unless clutch is depressed slightly?
When driving in any gear at any speed my car judders to no end if clutch is released while accelerator is pressed. If both pedals released car is fine but when accelerator is pressed car jols and judders as if its about to stall.
Accelerator and clutch pressed = fine
Accelerator pressed and clutch released = judder
both released = fine
(clutch pressed only slightly… Nothing engages or does anything just a little weight on the peddle is required)
mechanic can find no issue or damage anywhere on vehicle.
From your description it sounds like whatever is causing the vibration is only present when the clutch is either partially or fully engaged (pedal in up position). That indicates an issue with either a contaminate on the pressure plate, clutch disc or flywheel surface, an out of balance clutch assembly or possibly loose connections between the pressure plate and flywheel. The fact that it apparently stops when you place light pressure on the pedal seems to confirm one of the above. I'd start with checking the mounting bolts on the pressure plate.
Hi this sounds like it needs a new engine mount.

- How does transferring rego from a SA reg to a QLD reg work when buying a car? My girlfriend and I are in Australia on working holiday visas and we're keen to buy a car in order to travel down th East Coast. We have found a car that looks decent, but the car's rego is for SA and we're in Cairns (QLD) and the rego is up in a few days. How will it work, renewing/transferring the rego from QLD and how much should it cost? The car is a ford falcon station wagon if that matters.
- Car judders in reverse and taking off? My car is a Ford Focus. It felt like a bad engine mount so I changed all three. Now the car has a stiffer judder from n/s. When jacked up there was play left to right in wheel but not up and down (not a wheel bearing problem?). Both lower arms changed recently too. I suspect a bad strut mount too, could it cause symptoms of bad engine mount?
