   so, had the tyres sorted and balanced and decided to take it on the motorway to test at higher speeds, juddering is still there and i am bit confused. where are the gear box mountings? could it be them? or has my clutch gone or linkage?
   
   any help or advice is very much appreciated

   it could be a wheel bearing mate no 100 percent though. and your gearbox mount is under your car in the centre behind your gearbox.

   you need a press to press them in but u can do it by hand if you get a big socket and hammer it in but u need two pair of hands best getting sum1 to do it or u cud change the whole front suspension leg thts gt a gud bearing init. and if its the driveshaft there a doddle to change just need to drain the gearbox before you take it out
