Subject:      87 Vanagon shakes after Clutch job
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

After 120,000 miles, I finally had to replace the clutch on my
1987 Vanagon (2wd).  The job was done by a VW shop.
When I got my van back, it shakes violent everytime I try to
put it in 1st from a standing stop.  I took it back to the shop
and they claim that it is because the engine mounts needed
to be replaced.  ( me think they broke the mount in the
clutch job!) But anyway, I let them replace the engine
mounts.  Now, it shakes a lot less, but it still shakes when I
put it in 1st gear from a stand still.  The only way I can stop
the shaking is to really rev up the engine when I release the
clutch and I have to release very very slowly.

Any one have any advice for me to consider before I take it
back to the shop again?

Thanks.
