Car judders when pulling away from rest

My car is citeron 2006 c5
contains 4 blwers but doesn't rise from front and rises only from behind.

possible clutch wear/broken engine or gearbox mount
Good Luck :)

it may be from failing engine mounts allowing the engine to misalign the drive shaft under acceleration and allowing problems in the cv joints or "U" joint

check for worn or broken motor or trans mounts

I HAD JUDDERING WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM STOP POSITION IN MY RENAULT CLIO. TURNED OUT MY FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE JAMMED ON DUE TO SEIZED LOWER GUIDE PINS ON FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS. FREED THEM WITH A SPANNER AND PLENTY OF WD40.CURED MY JUDDERING PROBLEM. SORRY I CAN' T HELP WITH ENGINE LIGHT...JOHN PAXTON

Most likely nothing mechanically wrong in the gearbox but check the transmission fluid level and top up if low. Also if low, check for site of leak to remedy it. Judder says to me 'imbalance' or an under damped spring. Does the judder emanate from one end (transmission) or one side (wheel) predominantly. Has the judder manifested itself just on its own or is it after having had some work done to the car.
Check wheels for balance - could be a balance weight has been lost, at the same time check the action of the shock absorbers. Check the rear engine/gearbox mount for integrity; its towards the rear of the gearbox and sits on a transmission tunnel cross-member . Now check the front prop to gearbox doughnut coupling, then the central bearing and finally the rear prop to differential doughnut coupling; all should be sound. Signs of splitting of the rubber around the bolt mounts in the doughnuts or a lot of lateral play in the central bearing are indicators for renewal.

hi from the uk from the symptoms you describe ? there is a judder as you take up drive in 1st gear ? may i suggest that this fault is not uncommon on this model and the fault is the engine mounting that is the one at the front of engine directly behind the radiator as you stand at front of car this mounting has a metallastic rubber which has probably parted from the metal fixing plate this results in the engine tilts back and lifts as you take up drive in 1st gear from standstill ? but once moving all other gearchanges seem ok ?? you can check mounting by slightly raising the engine at rear with a jack you will see mounting part from rubber this mounting is easy diy and the mount costs £15 approx here in uk and takes 1/2 hour to replace have done many of these in past if you req instruction on best/easiest way to do job? by all means get in touch ? hope this helps/inspires you ? best wishes from n/west uk

I have 2 meganes im working on at the moment both have the same problem. the electrical falt light is on coz the pipe has snapped (or come off) under the bonnet on the passangers side close to the window (theres a black box about 2 inch wide the pipe connects underneath). if I reconect the pipe and grab the engien with both hands it wobbles and the pipe pulls off. I suspect this is coz one (or all) the engien mountings are shagged. and this will be the cause of the juddering when driveing in first and second gears. solutions iv have come across for juddering involve changeing the coil pack but thats nothing to do with the problem my 2 cars have as one of them has new coils. they are 1.6 petrol, p reg and s reg

check replace the engine/transmission rubber mounts

hiya if you are sure that the n/s/f wheel bearing/cv joint/ and suspension joint/s are sound ? may i suggest that you check the engine mountingson the n/s front +rear ? from your symptoms it sounds very much like as you accelerate the engine is tilting due to the metallastic mounting has perished thus the juddering is engine moving along with driveshaft especially cornering ? you will have to check physically and visually the mountings or pop into local quick fit and ask to check for normally no charge? for inspecting this is common fault easilly missed on a lot of cars with f/w/drive hope this helps ?
