The car can be driven, but here are the issues I experience: - Car jerks after shifting from gear 1 to 2. - Sometimes the car car shakes/shudders in gear one when pulling off from slope. -I experience this rough ride in morning, car runs smoother in the afternoon. Gave someone to drive the car and their assessment is I need a new clutch plate and thrust bearing. The flywheel may need to be machined/skimmed to make it smooth.
