In first or reverse when I get about half way off the clutch I get this ruff vibration I can feel coming through the car. Anyone know what this could be?

I'll take a look at the tranny mounts and U-Joints on Friday. I haven't felt anything like this since I got it a year ago and I Romp and Stomp on it not everyday but fairly often.

Clutch has been solid for well over 30K miles. And don't slip shift, power shift, grind, or shift hard at all. I ride her hard when shes in gear on the occasion but I baby the tranny as much as possible. Clutch is FRPP King Cobra clutch btw.

all i know is that it chatters going into first and reverse. the whole car shakes. i had a good website that explains causes of chatter, like oil on the clutch, wrong pinion angle, u joints. . .etc.

Clutch chatter is basically the clutch skipping across the flywheel when you slip the clutch. There are a bunch of different factors that cause it, and any clutch can do it.

Basically just google search clutch chatter and you'll find more info.

This is clutch chatter right here

In that video there was a lot of noise I noticed when it happened. Whats happening in mine is slight and more of a grinding (It feels a lot like putting sand between ur hands and rubbing them together if that makes any sense.) vibration. Its quite and not as noticeable as what was happening in the video. It only happens in 1st and reverse and it fads really quickly.

Failing throwout bearing?

Without being there, it's tough to diagnose.

You might look at your brakes for a seized caliper, or sticking drum. I know Im way off base from the others, but first and reverse are the only gears where you are moving the car from a stop, and your brakes could be grinding a bit... It may not be noticeable once the car is moving due to road noise, etc.

when you say shot. how bad were they? the only way i know how to check u joints is by rotating them and if they feel rough or choppy as you turn then they're bad. is there another way to check them that i don't know of?
