i have a problem when driving please tell me if you can identify what the problem is.

After i drive lets say for 30 minutes, i turn the engine off, once i come back to the car after 10 minutes the engine is still warm but when i start driving and get to the biting point the car shakes a lot, this happens for like 10 minutes, normally the car just vibrates a bit like normal. just wanted anyone's opinion on what it could be.

    which car is it? I used to get a similar probelm with an E30 BMW where the clutch would get very jerky when the car was stuck in traffic when warm.

    Sounds like its definitly clutch related.

    Clutch cable? If it's cable operated make sure the cable is as far away from the exhaust manifold as possible, any heat shield is in place, and the cable is not kinked.

    Or possibly a misfire that clears once fully running again.
