Hello I just purchased a 2005 Blazer 2 door with a 5 speed transmission. Sometimes when I take off(let the foot off the clutch) the truck starts vibrating/shaking and I have to push the clutch back in and try again or take off from second gear. Clutch was done about 1 year ago (20k miles). I thought it was my driving but I had a friend try it and it happened to him as well...other than this it runs flawlessly and this problem does not always happen?? Thank you in advance for the help.

 

i know with any stick shift, if your let the rpm's drop too low when taking off to a point where it cant gain power but isn't low enough to stall it will shake and vibrate.

It would do this worse if starting out in 2nd so it may not be driver error as you said. It shouldn't be the clutch, they like to slip in higher gears.

Could be internal trans issue, maybe check the u-joints

 

My blazer does the same thing once in awhile I just did the clutch to and slave cylinder but didnt do anything with the flywheel but clean it up with a angle grinder I think that is where the problem lays like the other person had said slipping, slipping on the flywheel ..... Test it out with out hitting the gas let the clutch out no gas let the clutch out really low it shouldn't do what your saying then do with some gas and it might do it

 

My truck doesn't do it so bad that I have to reclutch like your saying tho just a ruff start

 

I am going to check the U joints and try releasing the clutch with no gas to see if it does not do it. Read in a few places that the clutch fork could be sticking and that many people that do clutches do not grease the end of the clutch fork (caliper grease). I am not a mechanic by any means but do some repairs on my own... Does anyone know if the clutch for can be greased on our blazers without removing transmission? Saw somewhere online that a mechanic took a grease gun with a small injection needle on the end and was able to spray some onto the end of the fork but do not know what kind of car it was... Thanks again.
