Agreed, I had the tires shaved and the rear brake drums balanced - now no scuttle shake.

(PP looked good so didn't add a new one) Shifts great but when starting the car even with it out of gear, it "groans" a second or so when the engine starts but goes away and I would only hear it at times when I down shifted. Once hot I never heard it. Then--------I took a 600 mile trip over the last two days. I began to hear it more and at different times---Pushing the clutch in, starting the car and downshifting. Several times I heard what sounded like a "ping" when I pressed the cutch pedal.

I have balanced all wheels--even added the scuttle shake "mod" (cross beams on the inner body, behind the engine) and had the rear drums balanced locally. All to no avail-----between 55 and 65 there is comes again!! The drive was wonderful all the while as long as I drove slower or faster than these speeds.
