What was it you didn't notice a big change IN?  Do you mean that your clutch
continued to shudder?  Or the nasty-assed banging noise from the rear end
didn't go away, or  .  .  .?

I can see inside the mount where the nasty assed banging is coming from on
mine (been chasing that noise for about five years now, and no one could
figure it out).  I'm hoping that the clutch shudder will be eliminated at
the same time.
