Mike:
Some random thoughts:
Contamination on the flywheel - grease or oil.
Clutch worn out.
Pressure plate worn out or springs are weak.
Flywheel resurfaced excessively, pressure plate bolts bottom out
before pressure plate is fully seated.
Clutch plate installed backwards.
Sticky clutch syndrome (binding between front cover and throw
out bearing sleeve).
Transmission misaligned with motor.
Worn out/missing mainshaft pilot bushing
Broken motor mount.
Bad U-Joint.
Loose or bad gearbox mount.
You will need to work though this list and see which ones make
sense and which ones don't. Sadly, many of them involve dropping the
tranny, but the good news is that removing the tranny is not a horrible
job, since you can lift it out through the passenger compartment. One
person can get it out in about 3 hours - but then you probably already
knew that.

Subject: clutch judder
I just finished a engine rebuild with the engine out of the car. after
getting
everything back together the engine runs good but I have a real bad
clutch
judder. When I take off the whole car shakes. I did not have this
before. what
will I have to do to fix the clutch judder? Appreciate any comments and
thoughts on the shaking car problem.
Thanks
