My Santro developed a clutch shudder at around 35000 kms. The shuddering only happened after driving in start/stop traffic in city. After driving a bit on the highway or on clear roads, the shudder vanished. After I switched to 5" alloy wheels (from 4" stock steel rims), the pickup of the car increased noticeably and the clutch shudder has more or less vanished. After a while it resurfaced but again vanished when I found and fixed a slow puncture in my front right tyre (which also caused the mileage to drop substantially, by about 1 km/lit). I am running stock-size 155/70 R13 tubeless tyres.
I am convinced it is a fuel injection problem which could possibly also be solved by reprogramming the ECU. After the latest service (with the slow puncture still on) the problem reduced because the fuel injectors were cleaned. I also suggest using premium fuel (I use Speed).
