IF it goes away, how could it be a bad motor mount? Mine does the same thing. The moisture on the disk makes the most sense to me. My camper will sit for days, sometimes weeks, and will do this too. But it does go away after everything warms up. Jay '85 Westy (The Hindenburg)

OK, so I have received responses from many a good-hearted listees about my shuddering transmission. The possible causes seem to range from moisture to a blown rear (front or whatever) main seal to a transmission mount. I have the manual transmission, and the shuddering goes away after a little driving. Is this indicative of anything? Thanks, Patrick |
