Wheel hop is BAD!!!!!

You need to dump the clutch on the launch and the shifts before your driveshaft and diff shatter into a million pieces.

Correct.... if you are feathering the clutch..you will get wheel hop. Or if the supension in the rear is too soft.

Wheel hop is just beyond bogging, both of which are murder on your differential.

After reading your post again... the "Shudder" could be other things such as CV joints, axle etc.
