Default On MT cars, there are 2 motor mounts, and a third mount center line at the back of the trans...

The only way the mountings for the engine/trans could be implicated, is if the mounts have failed to the degree that the drive train in seriously misaligned, beyond the range the CV joints and drive shaft universals can accommodate. I don't believe the mounts are the problem.

Default Is there any shudder/vibration with reverse torque flow in the drive train?

I.E., with major engine braking?

I'll try it later today and update the thread. The clutch is less than 1 month old though.

It was not present before the K04. I've noticed the problem the first time I drove the K04'ed car.

Default Please explain like I'm a 2 year old...

I'm guessing you're telling me to be in 4th or 5th and see if I get any strange vibrations when letting off the gas? Or should I try lower gears?

Oh and there are no vibrations in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Default Yes that is correct, maybe down a steep hill where you can really load the drive train

with reverse torque from engine braking effect. Does not need to be for more than a few seconds,
and is not essential, just could provide more information. Use the same gears.
The reason it only has the shudder/vibration in 4/5, is because in those gears, the drive line torque is the highest for an equivalent power level transmitted through the drive line. Stated another way, for equivalent powers, at high shaft speeds, the torque value is comparatively low, and vice-versa. Shaft speed and shaft torque vary inversely for the same shaft power level.

Default Does it matter which gear I'm in? Anything to watch for?

Obviously the lower the gear the more engine braking goes on.

Default

could be a warped clutch, did you follow break-in properly?
