Intermittent clutch judder when cold

[Pete93]

Hi 

just joined the owners club as I am struggling with an intermittent clutch judder on my xv. When the car is cold it can judder quite badly when pulling away at low or higher revs, once it's had its session it works fine the rest of the day!?

noticed it's better if I do long runs in the car but shorter trips seem to set it off? On a recent trip back from Durham and North Yorkshire it was fine with no problems.

does anyone have any ideas? Or same issue? All I can assume is that some sort of oil or grease is getting into the clutch and then burning it off? 

Also I have an injured tyre that is an mot failure and have to replace all 4 tyres- assuming the original factory tyres are the best for mainly  on road use? On an American site I saw an xv with some Goodrich tyres that looked good?! Subaru are pricing then at £146 a tyre for the original Yokohama's currently have managed 40000 miles on these, still have 4 ml on them but as I sat one tyre has a injury so it has to be replaced 

my 4 year is service is due ( including all the axle oils etc ) that need changing and have been quoted £675 ish to get this done, is that normal? Does anyone know any good specialist Subaru garages that are none franchise in the Cambridge area?

gonna be an expensive year! 

Thanks for your thoughts/ ideas

Clutch judder is pretty common on suabrus, how many miles is on the clutch ? After I'd had mine replaced and the flywheel skimmed it was alot better.
I'd go for a brand of tyres you like etc as the yoko's are a bit noisy and I didn't like them for feel.

Hi stants

 thanks for the reply - new clutch etc ouch - the car has completed 39000 miles. Owned about 7 other cars before this one ( not Subaru) and never had clutch problems, so don't think it's me! Car will be 3 years old in November so pretty new really. 

Thanks for tyres advice will look round. This next service could be interesting if I need 4 new tyres, major service, brake discs and a new clutch! 

Flip that won't be cheap! 

Thanks

Do you have an good indy's near you ? My local one is a 70 mile round trip but for the savings it's worth it, he's at least half the price of main dealer

 

As for tyres any with an xl rating would be fine,. Last two sets I had were good year efficient grip and the uniroyal rain sport 3's both of which I liked and were fantastic in the wet
