Hmmm

It seems that when I take off in reverse it shudders like mad until the clutch is fully out. Is this just my driving or do I need to adjust the clutch or something?

Can anyone help?

Cheers
Smarty

probly got a shuddery clutch then

:-)

sorry, ok...yeah often a small clutch shudder can be accentuated by a broken engine mount (or 2)

fix them first & then if you still don`t like the little shudder that`s left , then repair the offset/oily clutch

How do you get an offset clutch? OI thought the backplate centered itself on the straps and the clutch plate was centered by the primary gear?

just checked the engine mounts and they are all okay. So does this mean I need a new clutch?
