Mine does shudder a little on take off, I will replace the springs first. Thanks all
FWIW my springs were at the limit at 80k so I replaced them. The disks were still ok. Depends on how long you want to be down. If you don't want to wait to order parts after you open her up and measure I'd get the friction disks and for sure springs along with the pump parts. There's some water pipe o-rings in there iirc that should be replaced when you pull the cover.

As long as you're in there I'd take a pc or brass or beater screw driver wrapped in tape to jam the drive and clutch basket gear and torque the drive gear bolt.
