'65 Mustang - Pull Away Problems

[geordie]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the shuddering only occurs in first gear. If you pull away in second gear, no shuddering, if you downshift from second to first, no shuddering. When you pull away in first you have to virtually keep the revs below idle, say 900 rpm to achieve a 'smooth' pull away.
Anything above that and you risk the shudders. If I get the shudders on pull away they disappear if I shift into second. Strange eh!

I was warned about alignment difficulties when I bought my '65. The only advice I was given was try to find a shop with an older experienced wheel mechanic who is experienced in aligning older cars. Not much help I know. If you have any more thoughts...let me know. Good luck.
