Shaun,

Perfect, thanks for the update :D

So it sounds like I need to replace rear control arm bushings.

Oh brother, does this ever sound familiar :( I would say to check your rear control arm bushings just for good measure, but the problem slowly came back on my car even after the rear control arm bushings were replaced.

I did everything listed here as a possible solution (except replacing the bellhousing), and a whole lot more. Although I am very reluctant to declare that my problem is fixed, it appears that it is. I haven't driven it enough since the last repair attempt was completed, as there have been a few other issues that I have been working on.

Even if it is indeed fixed, the bad news is that I am never going to know a definitive cause for the problem....it's a long story :confused: So, although I wish I could point to some specific thing to tell you to check.....I can't :(

70TA,

Perhaps a little more background on the car would be helpful. Is this a problem that cropped up all of a sudden, or is it something that slowly got worse over time? Any changes made to the car just before the problem started?

'

Is there an actual shudder w/ clutching action or just a noise?
Was the problem there immediately after parts replacement or how long after did it appear?
Fork and trans input shaft both inspected and Ok also absolutely no leaking oil or gear lube?
What were the face surfaces of FW + PP + Disc both sides also Pilot upon inspection each time apart?
Was the replacement flywheel brand new or resurfaced used?
I didn't see a release brg. on your parts list but expect it's new too?
Don't discount misalignment possibilities and best check detail dimensions also runout of FW and trans input when apart next.
Good luck!
:beers:
