Can't figure this out....

So I installed all new suspension bushings. I ended up getting all my bushings from J-Auto. I also changed out the tie rods Inner/outer.
What I still notice is that I'm getting shuddering/jerking when either letting the clutch out from first or when in reverse.
Motor mounts seems to be in good condition. No tears etc... I know racing beat has an engine brace for the older gens to correct this but it doesn't seem that the motor moves much during these times. Thoughts??

I just installed a brand new clutch from clutch masters. No other driveline mods except for new diff bushings.

Did you already check the PPF for cracks back where it mounts to the differential?

Edit- I see you put in diff bushings so you would have seen cracked PPF then...

Nothing really stood out on the PPF that could be cracked so that's why I'm baffled...

Well, I mean, the new clutch might have something to do with it. How aggressive is the new one vs. what it replaced?

After speaking with others it could be chattering from the clutch. It's a 6 Puck sprung. The engagement is pretty much on and off but I do feather it.
I was looking at the FEED slave cylinder which people say improves the feel simular to oem.

I have the FEED with my Exedy twin, and it does help. Sprung hub is better than not, but puck clutches can be abrupt. You might try a Banzai transmision brace, and/or a diff brace.

Is the exedy twin and on and off clutch or is it more like oem? Also did the Feed help you with pedal pressure or engagement?

I assume you would have checked them but what condition are your driveshaft u-joints in? Slop in the u-joints will be realized as a clunk or jerk at the initial onset of power transfer and when they get really bad you'll notice them when shifting.

Yes I have. They seem to be tight... Nothing is present when shifting.

It's grabbier, but its still a sprung hub and not a puck clutch. The twin plate makes it such that the pickup point wasn't consistent, and it wasn't easy to get enough separation to get it into 1st gear, so you'd look like you can't drive.
