Truck shudders when backing

[DodgeFreak]

Hey, I don't remember if I've made a post but I want to get an internet opinion on this. It shudders when backing up a gooseneck, and when I had roughly 10k lbs on the gooseneck I couldn't take off in 1st it would violently shudder. I would have to start out in 2nd and slip the clutch to even get it moving, hated to do that but it was better than twisting a drive shaft. I'm assuming it's a warped fly wheel since it will do it in reverse or forward.

Recent development?

Stock/organic clutch?

It's been doing it for awhile but it's gotten worse. Stock clutch as far as I know.

Hmmm, I'm not too sure.


I hear the new Powerstrokes pull super smooth.












Sound like a boogered flywheel to me, I guess. Any chance you're starting to get into the rivets on it? How long has it been in there?

I would check your rear diff first for broken off teeth, or there obviously broken parts. Pop the cover and have a look inside....quickest and easiest things first.

But really it sounds like the clutch is fubard.

Lol they do when they run! It's been in there since we've owned it. Maybe 50k miles. I changed the lube about 1k miles ago and it all looked good. I may just pull the clutch before I buy one since it's not a daily driver I can have it down a while.
