Guys.....
When I let the clutch up to pull away, I get a jerk (just the one!), but no accompanying clonks. It's obviously something amiss in the drivetrain/rear suspension dept. I've had the rear beam bushes done and they were well sh*g*ed, but the jerk is still there (but not as bad).
Is the diff mounting bush (the one in the rear cover) a likely candidate, or maybe the rubber coupling in the propshaft? Or even both??
Thanks in advance
Stuart.

Rubber doughnut at the gearbox output is the first thing to check, followed by the prop. centre bearing support.

have a look at yours see if it split, my old one was starting to split between the metal bushes.

is this while finding the biting point with the handbrake on? if so, it's handbrake shoe adjustment! mine does it too! allows 20mm forewards and backwards movement with the handbrake one? (time to put the handbrake on and push it about while parked)
