Hi guys,
I wondered if someone can shed some light on a small problem I have. Firstly I want to mention that I am in southern Tanzania about to cross into Mozambique but any work is best done here before I plod on and get a problem, as Mozambique is the wild west with no spares whatsover.

I have a 300 tdi, and for the last 1000 miles or so I get clutch judder as I pull away, not always, if I play the clutch i can get away with it sometimes. Once I am in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears no problem, there is a bit of a clunk when lifting off in 5th gear. Recently in the last 200 miles i have noticed a bit of oil coiming out of one of the front right handside drive member bolts.

So the question is:
is it a clutch problem or a drive shaft problem, obviously one is a lot easier to fix than the other. Also I might only be able to find a 2nd clutch is that worth fitting in the event its a clutch

Thanks

Check your gearbox and engine mounts.
If it is the clutch it's just as likely to be the flywheel as the clutch itself.

Check UJ's as well.Make sure drive member bolts are tight.
