Transmission Shudder on takeoff???

I can't help but notice that if my 986 sits unused for a week or so (not my daily driver) for the 1st few times I start from a stop the transmission shudders quite a bit. But the condition soon goes away. until she sits unused. The feeling is similar to brakes contaminated by oil from a bad bearing seal.

Is it possible that the flywheel has some minor rust forming from sitting and it takes a few clutch releases to "dust off" the surface? Right now I'm not to concerned with it since it goes away. Is there anything I'm overlooking and should be watching for?
