Gary, To be honest I dont really know which bits they mean he mentioned the words sub frame and grease(!). The clutch juddering is happening when you first set off in the car, its as if the clutch has been raised too quickly and/or you dont have enough RPM for the clutch to engage smoothly, i.e. it sounds kind of like the car is going to stall but it doesnt. Ill keep you posted. Regards, Paul. "Gozer" <gozernopsamon4.com> wrote in message news:<EpyXa.15909$iZ4.6145nopsamdc02.gnilink.net>... > Which upper bearings and washers are you suggesting?
