Car not so smooth?

[ChrisD]

Hello all,

 

anyone have any ideas on this?

 

 when i am driving and drop my clutch, my car (03 impreza 2.0 T) doesnt seem to carry on rolling like you would expect, it seems to jerk as if i had tapped the brakes on?

 

same with changing gears some times, making the drive not so smooth.

 

Any help would be great thank you !

Sticky caliper maybe or handbrake issue, have you parked uphill and let your foot off the barke to see if it moves freely in neutral?

Come to think of it, I did tighten the hand break when i first got the car, may be possible its not 100 percent down, will give it a test and what can i do to test calipers short of taking them off?

Hi, same thing happened to me when I changed rear discs. I adjusted shoes too much.

Take it for a run and check to see if your rear wheels or discs are excessively hot.

Hope this helps

Lowered handbrake a tiny bit and seems much better :) 

 

feeling stupid!
