Oil on a clutch will do it, and a clutch that's been overheated will judder too. A clutch that's not been heated adequately can judder, sometimes slipping it carefully will smooth it out.

Your clutch is heat burned, the only way to fix this is to have a new clutch assembly installed along with machining the engine flywheel. To avoid this condition after repairs are done release the clutch as soon as possible, don't "slip" it excessively as you take off, as that turns it red hot and this is causing the chatter or "judder" as you call it. Cost to repair is about $800.00
Hi Kristopher, A shudder from the manual transmission is usually caused from a defective part in the clutch assembly. It could be caused by uneven wear of the pressure plate (clutch cover) or wear on the clutch plate boss (The center of the clutch plate with the springs or rubbers which absorb the torque when releasing the pedal) A shudder can be generated from a defective engine or gear box mount, worn CV joints or spiders or a loose bell housing. Start with the last suggestion and work backwards as the clutch replacement will require the most work. If the clutch assembly has been replaced recently, and the parts available are of the same quality we receive where I am, you will need to do the job over. Regards John
this indicates a damaged clutch disk and pressure plate, however the transmission has come down to determine the damage, 1 you will need a clutc assembly 2 the flywheel will either need to be resurfaced or my best suggestion is to replace it since it is over heated just like a bad brake rotor when the flywheel is over heated it is worped and causes the judder!!
Clutch judder is mostly caused by broken springs in the friction plate, the springs usually snap due to too much enthusiasm at traffic light races.
Some cars with cable operated clutches suffer from a form of clutch judder if the cable is dry and not running freely in the sheathing.
A good cure for this is to release the cable at the gearbox end and holding the end of the cable in the air pour a few drops of oil down the inner cable.
