Clutch shudders and shakes the entire car when taking off in first gear. This seems to happen when the engine is cold, and goes away after it's warmed up. Oddly, clutch engagement felt strong otherwise. I had the 2003 version of this car previously, and it had this problem as well. Shortly after it began having this issue, the clutch started slipping and needed to be replaced.
