Clutch shudder when setting off in 1st gear

Wow--I haven't seen you around here in a long time!

Anyway, I just hope that the clutch shudder does not become a problem with durability. The reason I got rid of my 2005 Scion xB was because of clutch issues (throw out bearing replaced three times).

To me, I guess the reverse gear is actually more of an issue than 1st. No matter what or when, it chatters like crazy, unless you gun it ... not great going backwards. Well, not usually.
