Truck shimmy's when take off

[93fordturbo]

I can drive a manual pretty good, and i normally take off in second. But when i do so, or even take off in first, the truck kinda shimmy's or jolts or shakes when i take off and dont have the clutch out fully. Once clutch is fully let out, it goes away. I have drove other manuals where i feather the clutch while taking off, and it doesn't shimmy like this. Bad clutch? Bad tranny?

probably has a solid flywheel in it,that is one of the side effects, the dual masses dont do that often

 

[93fordturbo]

yeah i think its a smf

Agree with biggin. Your feeling the slipping of the disk and the flywheel is solid so it's not dampening it like a dual mass.

thanks guys. whats better in your opinion, smf or dmf??

I personally like the dual mass as long as it is on good shape , there is less noise and less stress on the tranny , however the solid flywheel is cheaper and they also do the job.
