As you'll probably know I've just had my car in to have the RMS replaced and a new clutch fitted. I've noticed since I got it back that there's a clunking coming from somewhere and also that when holding the clutch at the biting point I'm getting judderin, is this normal for a new clutch(cos I don't think it is). The clutch was a brand new one from Volvo so it's not because it's a cheapo one.

Just thought I'd ask before taking it back to them to sort out.

Hi TC

Sounds like they did not surface grind the flywheel :( you are bound to have hot spots on the flywheel a surface grind would remove them :( The clonk could just be an engine mount etc v worn ? good luck.
