Sounds like you might have clutch shudder. If its bad enough then it should be replaced under warranty.

Your car has been lowered, right? That can happen.

Well, that's what I thought. I know mine shudders a little but only when cold. I just know that alot of members suffer this issue and the common factor is that they're all lowered.

well i had/have the issue on my TF which is lowered 40mm/60mm, my TJ is 60mm/60mm and has no issues of shuddering

a wheel alignment makes it alot better, but i never fully got rid of it, just got used to it

No issue with shuddering on TF lowered with 17's... Also no shudder on a TJ VRX lowered with 19's...
