Got quite a silly question to ask, as I've done my flywheel and clutch on my 180 and judder was still there, I've now thought of the mountings, I've got sum1 to hold the car on bite point while I check the mounts the engine is shaking quite badly, should there be any movement in any mount?
Thanks Dan

yes. there should be a bit movement in the engine mounts. (at least for the stock mount)
otherwise your car will vibrate like hell.
but you shouldn't be able to move the mounts with your hand.

Even with standard mounts you will be able to move the top of the engine by about 5-10mm.
