clutch doesn't bounce on engagement, it'll do it when the clutch is fully engaged (pedal out) and power is applied, such as if you are just idling around and hit the gas anything other than gingerly the drivetrain feels like it has some viscous slack. really strange. some cars do this a little bit but this feels very bad.

i'll check the motor mounts that way tonight.

how would the TPS affect this? it feels directly applied to the rate at which i apply power, and i have NO other symptoms.

anyone know the people in burlington, VT with SVTs? i wanna drive another to compare. there is a silver E1 that i see all the time.

thanks again all.
