Car is acting wierd

My car started acting really wierd today. It was shuddering until I hit about 3500 rpms then it acted fine. It does this through all the gears except 5th. i dont know what the problem is. I just had my clutch replaced about 6,000 miles ago

My car's been doing the same. in my case it's misfiring. i just got new spark plugs and wires, so the shuddering is even more intense. check your fuel injector, there might be a problem with the distributor also. im gonna get my distributor replaced soon so hopefully that will solve it.

My car was doing this; and it was actually just my plug wires. I went ahead and changed the plugs anyway; oh...and never buy "Xact" plug wires. Those pieces of sheiit seriously come apart when you try to pull them off by the boot of the wire.

DIY Copper wire set.

Worst is NGK etc carbon soot hose, which contains one hair thin wire, sometimes connected from ends. First thing u get them, open ends and set the wire so that it has a chance to touch the connector - both ends - each wire.

Below worst case every thin else w/o reaal wire, just soot and glassfibers... like Xact?
