hi,

I have thrown a c20Xe into my corsa, but when i have engaged a gear and come off the clutch (on to the throttle) i get a clunk. If feels clutch/driveshaft related, but im pretty sure the drive shafts are in correctly. There is a little play in them when it is free-standing, but i was told all driveshafts are like that. They are M-Tech ones.

I have put a new clutch in but it doesnt have some sort of bush or bearing as we didnt have one but again i was told this shouldnt be a problem.

The car has bad clutch judder.

Any suggestions? if not the car will be set alight and vids will be on YouTube - im past pissed off with this now and its causing me a great deal of annoyance and stress!

clutch cable properly adjusted? could be gearbox related or cv related.
