Hi,
Got an '09 Sprinter Dropside and when I go above 2500rpm in any gear there's a judder/shake, anyone experience similar? If I engage the clutch and rev there is no "judder"

Thanks in advance... :)

I have seen a lot of sprinters where the axle has moved on its mountings, causing the vehicle to crab.
Have you checked the tightness of the rear axle?

Dual mass flywheel?
Was thinking that too Stumo but when he mentioned vibration stopped when he pushed the clutch in I thought more likely drive shafts if he's moving? But I didn't think if he was moving the driveshafts would still be turning whether clutch disengaged or not, although with the clutch engaged/freewheeling they would not be receiving the torque load if that makes any difference to vibration?
