shudder on acceleration, bad clutch? Options

[lotus_65]

hey guys-

i'm starting to get a pretty bad shudder when i pull away, mostly
when the car's cold. once it warms up it goes away except when
hot it almost groans (slips?).

mechanically, the gearbox works good and i don't get any
negative feedback from it-

it feels like the clutch--- right?

is there an adjustment to try, or is it toast?

thanks guys.

i don't know the miles, the engine's in pretty sorry shape compression-wise, but the gearbox is schweet. I have a sachs/flywheel combo from my 2056 raby that i could throw in there-

the mounts are tight, that was the first thing i checked-

rick, it is the whole drive train from that car we got. clutch, (resurfaced) flywheel, the whole works. chappy and i agreed it looked ok when we put it back together.

i'll check for oil leaks. how can i tell if oil's getting on the pressure plate without pulling it?
