Vibration / Shuddering In The Drivetrain

I have been reading this thread with interest as my Stag also did this when I first got it.

I dont know how much of this type of vibration etc is due to the fact that the cars sit around for a long time in JP before being sold at auction. When I first picked up my car I was shocked with the amount of vibration in the drivetrain. It seemed that when it kicked down a gear, the torque was twisting the auto box mounts (thats what it felt like). I have now done 10,000 odd kays now, and the problem has all but disappeared. The auto is much smoother, with kickdowns not causing any problem, there is also far less vibration etc.

I am wondering whether the long period of inactivity, coupled with the hardening of bushes, seals etc might have some effect on other seals and bushes. I also had to replace the right front CV boot, which split and made a bit of a mess. It was attributed to hardening of the rubber components. Since that has been fixed, and a full power steering flush (the workshop (Stagea owner) recommended it, as the compliance workshop changes the fluid, but doesnt flush it), the steering is much better, with no play in the steering at all.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

My car started doing the vibration at the pedal now and under accelerating a total of 2 times now, even when turning car off then turning the key back on I could feel the thuds well it was turning over. Weird as. I do have a leak at my transfer case (manual) could it my fluids are low?
