Re: 164 clutch shudder

["Daegrigg (Don)" <daegrigg@domain.elided>]

Thanks for the input.

have replaced the tranny, engine front, and top torque mounts (dog bone and
donut).  My rear mount appears OK and at any rate is not split. ( My front
was completely split in two when replaced),  Could the rear mount still be
shot to the point of causing this problem?

The S clutch throw out works by pulling on the pressure place springs rather
than pushing as with the other models.  I made a video of the bell housing
area and related engine when I replaced the clutch.  I don't see any
indication of leaks from the engine side or tranny, although this would not
rule it out.  Car has no leaks - a little remarkable for an Alfa.

I suspect this is something very simple (external to clutch) or very
time-consuming/expensive as in truing the flywheel or such.
