happens when pulling of until the clutch pedal is fully released and when coming to a stand still with the clutch fully depressed.

seems to me to be clutch related except for the coming to a stop bit?

with the engine running watch the crank pulley, get someone to press the clutch.

if it moves at all then the engines scrap. The thrustwashers have gone.

But it could be the release bearing,m the centre plate and so on

just been out in it and it does it when braking at slow speeds, not checked the crank pulley yet. other than that it runs sweet at higher speeds??

tell me about it it doing my head in, could it be the engine mount? but it doesnt move when you rock it (much). warped discs has been mentioned but surely they wouldnt be so low speed specific?

it seems to come from the passenger front end, gearbox side but the fact that it is so evident when clutch is down but not until you brake seems odd, and when pulling off reversing (partial clutch)

yeah thats fair comment, does my head in at work when customers ask me to fix their problems blind-folded, off to the dodgy mechanics I suppose
