IMHO this is very true, changing the engine/trans mounts won't stop the shudder... the cause is the solid centred clutch. I run an AP sintered clutch & found the easiest way to reduce or stop the shudder is to try a different technique on the clutch pedal.
Full throttle starts are no problem, for road use, parking etc, try less revs as the clutch 'takes up'......it might be different in your application but it works for me.
Dave, when you say 'indicating the bellhousing', do you mean *indexing*??? do you know how to do this?
