after giving the car a workout today in the wet, whenever i stop the car, put it in first, and go to take off, the clutch felt very spongy, and un eager to take up. When it DID take up, it made the whole car shudder for a second. Changing up into 2nd 3rd etc is fine. Down shifting, is relativly ok, although u can feel some wierdness in the take up... ANY idea as to what the problem could be??? Its a heavy duty single plate of some description.
