Just passed 22000 miles on the ST. Clutch is juddering like a beeyatch when pulling off for first 10 mins or so, also a bit when changing from 1st to 2nd.

Anyone had this? Know what's causing it? Does this model have a dual-mass flywheel?

Chaps,

I had the exact same issue and was also told by the dealer that there was no issue however i fixed it myself....

I burned the clutch face a little......empty car park, attempt to pull away in 6th gear, hold the clutch at biting point and the revs high for a while. U may smell a little burning. Do it for a few minutes making sure you get a good slip and friction.

I know a lot of people might disagree with my method however i did it 4 weeks ago wen the judder was really bad and it has been perfect ever since. And i mean perfect.

I fixed mine the exact same way! Give the clutch some grief and hopefully you'll get the same result as us. Careful driving must wear the clutch plate unevenly or something stupid...
