Driveline Shudder???

[decoop]

When i take off in first or reverse in low revs the whole driveline shudders, but if i rev the shit out of it to take off it doesn't do it. I just replaced both tailshaft uni's but now i'm thinking it might be the clutch. Has anyone experienced this before?

doesnt move? seams like engine power isnt getting transfered to the gearbox

 

more info ill say

 

but it does seam like a clutch problem

Sounds like symptoms of a gummy/oily clutch plate.

 

Mum's car does this.

Feels like she is skipping the front wheels.

leaking rear main or gearbox input seal?

I've noticed this problem before.....

 

I found that replacing the engine mounts and gearbox mounts with brand new nolathane ones helped it heaps...... To be fair, mine were utterly shagged....

 

Of course this may be completely unrelated to your problem, and it could well be the clutch or even the diff...... But just crawl under the car and have a look to see if your mounts (particularly the gearbox mount) have perished, cracked, become soft or as per my case split in half...... :lolcry:

 

Good luck with it......

Yeah the car moves, feells like the diff is bouncing (axle tramp). The gearbox mount seemed fine when i was under there pulling the tailshaft out, but i'll have a good look at it, along with the engine mounts. Might just change the clutch too and see if the problem remains. Thanks for the help guys.
