Right.. ever since we picked up the abarth selespeed (18 month ago) ive experencied judder... especially in the morning... and especially on a hill.

Ive noticed if i let the engine warm up it isnt that noticiable but when i pull off after its been standing feels like its gonna fall apart! plus its embrassing!

When on a hill and im reaching the bite point the car seems to sway forward and back!! then when i pull off it judders in first and a little in second.

Ive done a seach and seen quite a few causes but i cant seem to pinpoint what it would be. Im booked in to the garage tomorrow to have an aircon pipe fixed so i want to bring it up with them.

So 2 questions for you....

1. What is the cause
2. What kind of price?

Its booked in at a local garage for the aircon (was bookin in at alpha yapps in cardiff but they put the prices up for the aircon service during the summer... nice!) and they aint fiat specialists... so want to point them in the right direction.

Any help much appreciated
 
there is judder on the hill aspect... kangarooing in th emorning/ evening when the car has been standing
 
mines just the 1.2 but mine got really kangaroo-y last august just before it was serviced,had the plugs changed and 2nd year service and it calmed things down. then i found the air intake had come loose and was taking air from behind the radiator instead of through the grill over the top of the radiator. put this back and it cured it to the point its probably once a month its like that

Mine the exact same. I think the selespeed is just a crude unit really. Nice to see that yours judders in second too, thought it was just mine.

Only help I can offer you is if you fit lowering springs too the car like I have. They offer no give to the gearbox warming protest.

Hope this helps.:D
