ONE LIFE LIVE IT. D90

Hi, ive done a search and i havent really found the exact answer so i thought i would ask you guys. Recently, i have noticed my clutch judder quite badly in my 300tdi 90 1997 with 120k on her. Ive always had a slight judder, but just lately its been uncontrollable. It judders when pulling away and when changing gear from 1st to 3rd and its also noticeable in reverese (which has always happened to an extent). It usually calms down abit after about 50 miles of driving but its still there. There is no noticable oil around the bell housing, and the engine oil never budges. Its recently had a new clutch master and slave but that hasnt helped the matter. I keep being told that its contamination, but i thought it would wear off after a short distance or possible get worse when warm if engine oil was leaking onto the clutch.

Im not sure whether its related, but if i labour it in a higher gear than i should be, i get a terrible vibrating noise coming from the passenger side front/engine bay which is loud and sounds quite nasty but i cant source where its coming from.

Any help on this would be greatley appreciated

Could be a broken engine mounting.
 
could be the clutch plate is warped, had this problem on my series landy, and that was the problem, best to get the flywheel reground just incase thats slightly warped also.
