Technical Uno Shudders when reversing

[beat]

Good Day Guys

please assist my car started to shudder badly when i have engaged the reverse gear.
So if i start to let of the clutch slowly it shudders while it reverses, i suspect it might be the gearbox mount that is tired..

Please advise!!!

It could be the mounts, but it could equally be a another transmission problem.

Has it had a clutch recently?

Check the front gearbox mount under the battery. Probably works OK going forwards but maybe the rubber stretches/separates when reversing. Test by chocking the wheels/applying the handbrake and having someone try to move the car forwards/backwards while you watch the engine from the side to see if it's jumping around.

If it isn't that, maybe the clutch needs replacing.

hello guys

So on saturday i did my service as my car due and while i was at it. i checked out the front mount and i removed it as i suspected it, although i needed conformation.

I got a new one and fitted it the car is not shuddering anymore, Thanks for all your advise.

I did my clutch 50 000km ago, now i have realised that my gears are not smooth any more and i thought it is about about time i change my gear oil or may it is just low.

Which tool do you guys use to open the Gearbox filling bolt.
Please correct me if i am wrong, the front bolt(allen key) is for filling the oil and the left hand side one at the front is for draining the oil???

You´re right, the upper screw is for Filling, the other one for draining.
You´ll need a hose for filling, or a big injection with a short hose at the tip.
If you don´t have the key for opening, you can use the
head of a proper fitting screw. Just counter two nuts on the screw
and you can use it with a ratchet.
Be sure to use some solvent the night before and maybe slightly
hammer the draining and filling screw if they are corroded.

thanks for the clarity

The Allen key you need is 12mm. Or, a 12mm bolt with nuts attached, like johorridoh described.
