Subject:      1985 Vanagon - manual trans. - jerky ride ?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

My daily driver has begun to bouce when I engage the clutch: at reverse and 1st only mostly?

My clutch is only 2 yrs. old and was good quality when installed so any ideas.

You can usually drop clutch fast and avoid the bounce but it's bound to be tough on my pilot bearing?

Also....trying to travel constant speed in third is jerky also. If I'm on the gas, it's smooth but if I let off gas, it's jerky.....

How do you check a Vanagon's engine mounts, trans. mounts, etc.???
