Are the Superflex bushes you have used round or do they still have the cut out?
I will try the clutch dipping which i suspect will stop it straight away in the same way that slightly slowing or speeding up does.
Don't get me wrong, the car is not "lurching" along when it does it, but it is noticable but then i am used to Morris Minor commercial suspension which has as much give as a go-cart!
I was planning on replacing the engine and gearbox mountings when i fit the overdrive, but i may fit the engine mounts a bit sooner!
Any advice on these as i'm sure i've read somewhere on here there is a certain brand to avoid!
