There is a slight, but noticeable increase in pickup after changing to lighter, wider alloys. This seems to have solved the problem. Knight Rider's problem also seems to have gotten solved after he changed to K&N filter, which would again have increased the pickup. My guess is that the ECU is not able to stabilize its output under the old setup; it is asking for more power. I have no idea why this happens, though.
If you google
"clutch shudder" ecu you will get plenty of hits and maybe the solution to the problem. Many people seem to get clutch shudder in the mornings, when the engine is cold. Again the lack of power seems to cause the problem.
