I have an '89 SC 5 speed.
I just had the clutch replaced after the the pilot bearing disintegrated.
I put in a new version of the same clutch I had in it before. This is just the plain vanilla organic clutch from Southland Clutch here in San Diego. The only thing different is that the clutch is actually for a 94-97 T-bird. My flywheel was redrilled to accept it. The old clutch was very smooth.
The new one is smooth when cold, but gets more and more grabby as it heats up. In the morning, starts from a dead stop are very smooth. By evening, the car has a major shudder every time I try to start smoothly from a stop sign. Launching the car hard makes the problem less noticeable.
Could this be something other than the clutch, like differential or U-Joints?
