   Ok so today I was in a multistory car park and my vtr is lowered 60mm all round and it scraped as I went up a level. All of a sudden trying to pull off the car is juddering like its not going to pull away also does this in reverse but once moving its fine. I don't know if it's a mount or just the clutch. I find it strange how it's suddenly done it from scraping the floor. any help Will be great thanks

   could well be a mount, check the bracket which connects to the gearbox (there's 3 bolts) one of mine sheared and cause the same problem your having ^^

   I have to admit there is a space at the back where it looks like a bolt would go through but I'm not sure though

   Check all 3 mounts, get it done before you drive it next

   I have thought it could be something to do with the gearbox but tbh I'm not too clued up on what is where in the engine bay just know about minor things apart from that I use a Haynes manual when I have to work on it

   The bits of metal with rubber bushes are the mounts, one is inbetween the cam belt and ecu, ones under the battery and the others under the car at the back of the engine and goes from the gearbox to chassis and IMO would be the one to check
