The clutch judder has not been improved by fitting a new teardrop engine/gearbox mount, and tonight while moving the car, the thrust bearing(I assume) was starting to make a dry, scraping noise, the judder was uncontrollable, banging. So I need to decide on what parts to buy. I'll be taking the car off the road for the duration, and will certainly change the clutch plates as well, but will leave ordering a DMF until it has been inspected. I would welcome comments especially on whether members' experience of the plastic or metal slaves favours one or the other? And what are the chances that the DMF needs replacing. As said elsewhere, my 2001 CDT is approaching 133,000 miles. Thanks in advance. Andrew.
