Hi all the vans juddering when you start off in first gear once on the move all is ok .noticed the bolt on the gearbox that holds the bracket to the slave cylinder has snapped or rusted off would this cause the judder or could it be the gearbox mount.also how would i get the broken bolt out cheers mac.

Have you got any oil leaks in the bell housing? Any oil on the clutch plate will make it judder..

If you think you've no leaks but KNOW you've got a worn front mount you ought to replace the worn part anyway.
