Stan:
Did you check to see if any of the springs in the clutch disk
are broken/damaged? This could also be a source of shudder.
Some other suspects: Motor mounts & tranny mounts.
As long as you are in there, might as well inspect/replace as
needed. They are all cheap, so if you are the least bit suspicious -
toss the old ones.

Subject: [6pack] Worn pressure plate as the cause of clutch judder ?
<snip>
The clutch plate shows negligible signs of wear when compared to a new
plate.
The pressure plate on the other hand has a significant step in it. I
haven't
measured it but you can see it and feel it. It might be 1/32 of an inch.
The
recessed area is shiny and has a wavy appearance.
My original B&B pressure plate which I still have is as flat as a
pancake
despite the 10's of thousands of miles.
I was wondering how much a pressure plate could wear before the clutch
would
start to slip, would an amount sufficient to create a noticeable indent
in the
pressure plate be enough ?.
