Rear end shuttering

the rear end on my 75 shutters/ jerks when you put the car in drive and slowly take your foot off the brake then stops once the car gets moving. any ideas as to whether its the u joints or half shafts or what?

Check all of the U-joints, also how is the rear end lube, perhaps it's time for a change!

Might also need some fresh GM P/N 1052358 LIMITED SLIP ADDITIVE. That fixed one of mine.

I agree with the other guys but also might want to check to make sure the brakes are not hanging up. Just a thought.Good luck.

All good suggestions. Most likely the posi additive is needed. Might as well change out the fluid at the same time. Good luck!
