> I have clutch judder in my 1968 MGB-GT.
Have you seen a doctor? Sorry - couldn't resist.
Mine is a '67 tourer. Things I have noticed about Rear End Hop -
1. It was always present with my car, but at times worse. When I let the
engine oil get low it would get worse.
2. I tried a new clutch thinking it was oil on the clutch. Nope.
3. Traction bars will help but they cost over $300. I've thought about
getting a pair for a Ford Ranger at $85 and shortening them, but never
got around to it. Thoughts anyone?
4. The original rear end wore out and was replaced by a Salisbury from
my '69 car. End of rear end hop. This is not your problem since you
already have one. (Or should. Might be worth a check. It *is* after all,
a used car.
5. Higher revs at take off helps temporarily, but wears the clutch.
6. Keep your engine oil topped up.
