Subject:clutch chatter in reverse
From:Joel VanderKwaak

Hello collective wisdom,

As the subject line says, I'm experiencing occasional clutch chatter when in
reverse. No noticeable problems in forward gears - drove 300 miles yesterday
at 75 mph, then had vibration backing away from my garage.

The archives of this and other lists suggest the following:
- loose engine mounts
- worn needle bearing
- main seal leak

Anyone have other opinions or things to investigate?

The clutch and related parts are about a year old (Luk heavy duty kit), with
about 10K miles on them. The van is a 1991 Multivan with a syncro transaxle.

Thanks,

Joel
