Violent Take-Off Shudder

I’d like to thank everyone for this thread, I’ve had a similar problem in my 340 dart but never thought to look at the trans joint angle. As one poster stated it should be the same as the pinion joint angle. I’ve been living with it thinking it was the clutch, I’m going to check the trans joint angle now!


No problem! Here is am image of what you want to look for. Bare in mind that the pinion angle needs to be the same as dive line angle UNDER LOAD. So 5-7 degrees lower is what MP Performance books say per RustyRatRod.
