1999 Freelander transmission judder

Hi
I have a standard 1999 Freelander turbo diesel. There is a judder in the tranmission somewhere when pulling away in first. I've had a new clutch fitted with the flywheel machined, new rear drive shaft bearings and the engine/diff mounts checked. After the work has been done, or after a service, the judder goes completely, but then comes back after a few days. The local LandRover dealer says it might be a 'characteristic'. Has anyone had a similar problem, or know of a fix because it's driving me nuts!
Thanks
Steve

Is not normal - I would have said the clutch/flywheel but you said you have had them done.

One other possibility is the rear diff mounts - there are three with most of the weight on the front one which chews out relatively quickly - normally shows up as a knocking but could feel like a shudder. It is easy to check - just shake the rear diff and if it moves it will be the front mount. Other than that I would say the clutch and flywheel was not done correctly - there is nothing else that can cause a shudder.

Thanks for that. I will get it checked out.

The shudder has been reported to the service provider? Was the clutch done at the same place?? May be an oil leak onto clutch from rear main or g/box input. MAYBE being cleaned up at each service to get it past the warranted period....
