Vibrations when reversing

[chriddler]

Hi all, new to me 2019 t6 shuttle with the 102bhp engine. While accepting it's not built for speed I'm liking the drive so far but have noticed a bit of vibration in the back end when reversing and slipping the clutch for low speed manoeuvres. Is this most likely a) common phenomenon b) signal of something that needs attention c) user error because I've come from a auto c4 picasso and lost the 'touch'

The best method for checking the condition of the DMF / clutch is to reverse up a steep hill, preferably with a load.
Any significant unusual noise and vibration would normally indicate that one or both components is near end of service life.
IMO slipping the clutch really shouldn’t be necessary with a T6 gear ratios, this maybe the cause of the vibration / wear.

Likely the DMF. I had the same symptoms and an LUK clutch kit solved mine.

Had this in my T5 from new....never got worse in 110,000 ks. I learnt to slip clutch and use revs to overcome it. Hope yours is the same. Cheers.
