When driving ...and releasing clutch to gear down ..rear end shutters each time i gear down.?

recent work done , rear end out to replace hockey stick , clutch plate checked and torqued , rear brakes adjusted , new e-brake cables installed.

While you are changing gears, or while you let the clutch out?

when letting the clutch out.

Put a couple of washers between the bowden tube and the bracket on the gearbox sidecover to give the tube more bend.

A solid center clutch disc is more prone to this type of chatter.  Consider a spring center disc next time the engine's out.

I had added 2 washers when i changed the cable about a month ago, took one washer out today and there is no more chatter .

Thanks

Check all your transmission mounts and see if they are split  2 rear one center front,it sounds to me like your front trans mount shit the bed!

Took out one washer and it cleared the 3rd gear shutter but still the same in second gear. Will check em J ..thanks

Hey Schveng , its not really about .... one washer for this... two washers for that . Its about getting a good bend in the bowden tube so that any movement of the trans will not have an effect on the operation of the clutch. Otherwise it starts a brutal back and forth cycle (chatter).    Could also be a combo of many things
