I posted on Spet 21st about "Unique studder - jerk with transmission" and just occured to me today that it may have been (Ok, it must have been) related to the clutch cable breaking last Saturday and here's my synopsis:
Had clutch work done in January but still had the same clutch cable from previous replacement. Shifting was still rough so I brought my '97 900SE in and they replaced the clutch cable and shifting was perfect. Over the 9 months up till this past Saturday shifting got progressively worse. Gears would be grindng even though clutch pedal was floored. The studdering / jerking got progressively worse during the same 9 moths. Eventually, the cable failed this past Saturday.
Since the replacement on Saturday, Shifting has been perfect! However today, the violent shaking came back! Since it happens intermittently I tried to artificially reproduce. While accelerating in 2nd with firm pressure on gas pedal, I quickly slammed teh clutch pedal and released.. The same jerking / studdering , violent shaking occured.
My theory was the cable must have streched. I went out and manual forced the cablet o adjust, and voila, shifting was back to normal.
These cables are not "self-adjusting"
