It has happened at both ends of the RPM scale also. On the highway, 5000 or so in 3rd, press clutch to go to 4th - shudder. Just crawling out of a parking garage in 1st, 2000 or so, press clutch at exit gate - shudder. Other times, exact same scenario, nothing. I would say that the shudder happens less than 5% of the time. As it is my daily driver, I'll probably wait to have it checked at my 45K maintenance, which is coming up soon. But I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this or recognized it as a really serious problem, in which case it would go in tomorrow.
