       Sorry about the first reply.  It went before it was complete.  Finger
slipped !

       Karl and all interested Vanagonites.  The front tranny mount is to be
suspected in clutch shuddering investigations.  I just got done changing two
of these puppies over the last week for that reason and it certainly solved
the problem.  The rubber had become disconnected from the metal around it.
Not good............
