Hey Doc,
I've got 37k on mine (35K by po) and it has a slight shudder from rest in first, most times, not always, and I've always thought(from past experience) !*&#!*, pressure plate or flywheel, but dealer tech said don't worry about it. Any opinions ? Kinda bugs me.

Mine does the same thing, always periodic but frequent. It is actually the Dual Mass Flywheel. Stupid dealer didn't inform me of this until AFTER I had already replaced the clutch so I just left it. It chatters on take off and I get a vibration at 3-4k RPMs. According to the dealer it’s nothing that’s serious just annoying. I'll have it fixed next time I have the clutch changed.
My original clutch was actually never really worn out but I had them replace it while performing the RMS repair. Car had 27K miles, now at 49K.
