Post downshift shudder

91 S2. New Flywheel, pilot bearing, pressure plate, disc, fork, bearings, rebuild torque tube, new motor mounts, transmission mount, new slave and master cylinder. When you down shift it shakes you to death. For example coming down the mountain, 5th-4th-3rd SHUDDER! It's terrible. Any thoughts? EVERYTHING is new!

Er ah. Hope Chris aint reading here.

When I drove his I accidentally left the parking brake on and it did the same thing. Check it's not on, or adjuted poorly.

The rear wheels are driving the car in a reverse power shift. Think wheels to engine, start with Cv joints then transaxle, Inside that you have bearings on eachside Then the diferential then the ring and pinion itself. I would pull the side cover on the transaxle and take a peek. this can be done with out removing the transaxle itself. I was missing 3 teeth on the pinion..
