Okay, so i've got some problems... My 98 SVT, when disengaging the clutch in any gear, shakes/shudders. I've got 161k on the clock and I think it may be the original clutch. Also, when I slightly depress the clutch (1/2 Inch) while cruising in gear, it vibrates then also. Could this be a roll-resistor, or any other mounts, the clutch, etc..? I'm new to clutch issues, but am a very capable diy-er. Please help, as i've searched and have found no help at all. Thanks in adv.

Clutch is possible, how old is it? Is it stock or "racing"?

You might be getting to where you need a new one, maybe an expert opinion (Ray, Big Jim, Tony 2005??) would be good here. That's good clutch life though.

Me? Expert on clutches? Not me! Look to Ray and Big Jim. But I would not hesitate to suggest the clutch is about to go as 161K mile is a long time for a clutch. I've not owned a manual transmission older than 90K miles. Can't say I have experienced a clutch change above that.
