after clutch replacement, which was annoying, and has been doing it for
50k. I just use higher revs then I normally would when slipping for
reversing, others say lower revs reduces it. C'est la vie.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> Welcome back to the judder club. </DIV>
<DIV> In the TD, causes can be all you listed:</DIV>
<DIV> Front mount-possible, I suppose you could use a pry bar
gently and life engine to see if rubber has un-stuck from the metal. Originals
lasted 50 years. Today's improved replacements about 1/5 of that. Lift gently,
though, as you don't want to cause separation if it has not already
happened.</DIV>
<DIV> Stabiliser-check that movement of engine is about 1/8 inch, which
is about the "give" in the rubbers. If more, look further, to adjusting the
bar if there is evidence that the turnbuckle has moved (not likely), and
inspection of the rubbers. </DIV>
<DIV> Transmission mount--from underneath, push up and pull down on the
gearbox tail or at the flange. There should not be much movement. If the
rubbers are bulged and cracked, they may be bad. Changing them is not
complicated, but can be time taking and messy. Oil mess from engine is usual
cause of their deterioration, though. No need to remove it; just shove the
gearbox around to judge free movement, of which there should be less than 1/8
inch. </DIV>
<DIV> Axle U bolts--the usual cause. If you have not already installed
those wear plates on top of the axle, remove one bolt and feel for groove worn
where the U bolt passes over axle tube. Buy a pair of the wear plates if there
is any groove, and not a bad thing to have them installed anyway. MGA and
later had them on the axles from new.</DIV>
<DIV> Best of luck finding it--this can be a challenge. I have been
chasing it for a decade.</DIV>
<DIV>Bob</DIV>

backing up shudder<BR>Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2015 12:28:20 -0500<BR><BR><BR>Both my
A and TD started jumping or shuddering when backing up. I
had this happen before- seems odd it started again on 2 cars but
coincidence I’m sure.<BR><BR>I searched and can’t find much so I want to know
if I’m missing anything…<BR><BR>Possible:<BR>front engine
mount<BR>transmission mount (do I have to take it out to see on the TD?)
<BR>axle U bolts <BR><BR>TD engine stabilizer<BR><BR>TD clutch (seems like
might have been the problem last time but what do I adjust
here)<BR><BR><BR>Other ideas or what am I missing? I read pilot
bearings but were replaced so I doubt much wear. <BR><BR>Thanks,
