Hi

Car has started to judder when pulling away in first and also when changing between 1st and 2nd gear.

It doesn't do it from cold. Only once the engine is up to temperature and i've been driving around for a bit.

35,000 miles on the clock and had a new gearbox around 3000 miles ago under warranty. While changine the gearbox they didn't bother to check the clutch, clutch bearing or DMF though.

I suspect my clutch and or DMF are on the way out.

Anyone else have any further ideas?

Oil on clutch plate, failing engine/gearbox mountings, failing clutch, failing DMF, ete etc...

Check that nothing is loose after the gearbox change e.g. bellhousing, engine/gearbox mounts etc... After recent work where many bolts undone , if something not tourqued correctly.......
