    First off, have you done a search on TW for information? I know there are several threads that have discussed this shudder, and where to find help.

    Second, could you describe a bit more this shudder. Are we talking a jerking motion after the clutch is fully engaged as you accelerate, or a shudder as the clutch is being applied? Each one is different.

    Yes I have done the research. And it's a shutter when I'm releasing the clutch as I'm pulling away in first gear. It only does it when it's a cold engine. Meaning the engine is cold regardless of the whether temp
