Monaro Shuddering

[Yanayaya]

I'm not sure what's causing it or why but from time to time I get shuddering from the car, or certainly a noise of some description.
Usually it happens when I've stopped and then pull away again, as I lift the clutch I can sometimes get a shudder with a noise but nothing appears to be wrong. Other times it's when I reverse onto my driveway, I put the car in reverse and start to turn the wheel and lift the clutch I get a shudder and noise also. I'm a bit perplexed as to what it could be and I'm open to any suggestions.

Probably the diff clunking

If you look down at the digital display you'll most likely also see it displays "Low traction" too. If it does then this is complete normal...

Normal for a monaro...

Could be engine mounting broken as this happened to another member who had same symptoms

Thanks for the replies. I made a post a few weeks ago about the diff clunking ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ) but this doesn't feel the same not am I getting the digi sign for TCS. I have a horrible feeling it's clutch related and I say that because I can feel it through the clutch pedal (noises and vibrations travel though so I may be being paranoid). I know my clutch needs done or will need done soon but I don't have over £700 to shell out on the LS7 unit at this point.

I'll soldier on for now. Does anyone have a procedure for bleeding the clutch fluid? I think I may do this properly as the syringe method is taking too long

Standard 2 person bleed procedure, open the nipple, depress pedal, close nipple, release pedal, top up reservoir. Repeat until clean fluid comes out. Alternative i to use a one man jobby that has a one way valve in it, you can get these at Halfrauds if needed.

The annoying part is the location of the bleed nipple, under the car

Is the shudder side to side? I thought it may be an engine mount or some such (trans mount?), but assumed you'd also get it when starting the car up perhaps?
