When the box was put together/rebuilt no lock-tight was put on the threads so eventually it worked itself loose. As it got to the end of the thread it wedged against the bearing cover and pushed the shaft back and forth as the threads span round (which caused the juddering).
Thankfully it hasn't damaged the threads in the shaft and another bolt will just wind in a torque up without any trouble.
Another bonus is that the friction plate has very little wear so I only need to replace the pressure plate and bearing (already ordered), good thing to as the friction plate alone costs over £120!
There is one unknown left and thats the transfer box rear output oil seal. It only lets out a few drops here and there but if its easy to do then it may as well be done while the box is out.
