Do you know if the Dual-mass flywheel was replaced along with the clutch?

Have you tried bleeding the clutch hydraulic system?

2nd opinion from family friend of my late husband says he thinks it's the big daddy, front motor mount and drive it until it worsens of fails that it's not going to leave me stranded but lets not throw money at it just yet.

hmm
i dont remember if our mounts have a vacuumed line going through it.
if it does and if it is bad, would explain the stutter

I took him for a test drive, it did it once or twice, very hard to duplicate. He's the 2nd guy that has said "let it tell us what's wrong". And you guys claim to not be good listeners ;-)

What does the upper transmission mount look like? The one under the intake box.

my 04 6mt does have a vacuum line to the front motor mount.

I have no idea, I can control it a little with higher RPMs on start, sucks that my MPG is down to 17 in town but I am going to drive it until something happens I guess. Not having my husband around to help troubleshoot is making me want to sell it for something still under service. As much as I would love the '12 SH-AWD I'll just wait and see with my 06 I guess.

Front mount replaced today. My baby drives smooth as butter again!!
