My brother bought this car today, but he hasn't noticed it in the past few test drives before buying it.
But I have a bit more knowledge than him and if you let the clutch out at idle speed (approx 750rpm) or a bit above it has a bad shudder, if you rev it upto 1k+ then let the clutch out it's fine.
Does it in 1st and reverse, what could it be ?

Leaking rear main seal allowing oil to get onto the clutch?

thats just a courier right? if so check the engine mounts fairly common, check your gear box mount and bits and pieces. if its nothing of the above most likely clutch shudder

I'm not sure, but possible as i know ford call there courier a b2500 as well. So you reckon just check the engine mount bolts and gearbox for tightness?

Not just the bolts for tightness, also check the rubber hasnt collapsed/cracked.

yeah the engine mounts are just rubber and generally crack. done quite a few at work. i would also check uni's, g-box mount rear axle mount bolts stuff like that before i pull the box out, stuff like that takes 2secs to check. remove and refit a g-box is a big job if you find nothing wrong with the clutch and the problem turns out to something simple

Ok so could it be an expensive problem to fix? And if its the engine mounts, how do u go about changing them?
