Hi There
In a nutshell, I have a 1998 VW Sharan, 2.8 VR6 on 100k miles. Engine and gearbox appear rock solid, however I do get a noticable 'warbling' (is the best way to describe it) when I engage the clutch while pulling away in first.
Occasionally does it in second if I slip the clutch, but after that it doesn't do it in any other gear and doesn't do it when cold, only when warm.
I wasn't sure whether it was clutch or gearbox.
Trouble is, I cover 600 miles per week, so if this is something that is going to get worse and end in catastrophic failure, I need to get on top of it now.
There is no shudder, rumble or anything else, just a warble.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks
