do you think it could be that causing the juddering though?

i didnt think it woyuld be them because i thought the lower gearbox mount controled the forward and backwards play and the 2 top mounts just held it up?

the juddering is like when i pull away in 1st or everse it judders and it sounds like the exhaust keeps bouncing off teh bottom of the car?

thanks

could be. exhaust mounts ok? try putting it in reverse with hand brake right on and release the clutch and see how much movement you get, can see if it makes the noise then too

yer they seem fine mate. thats y i dnt get it i really did think it would be the lower mount because thats the mount that lets it move but it hasnt changed a thing supposeil have to get upper mount and see if that works,

Does sound like the lower engine mount to me mate, the exhaust bumping is cause it will be! For the sake of 40 quids worth of bits, i would replace the gearbox and lower engine mount, try to get group n or powerflex, will make a massive difference. Group a will send vibaratoins thro the car got power!
