Car Shuddering

[adjust8r]

When I move off in first gear, I am getting a shuddering/vibrations before I build up the revs and move into second. I have only noticed this lately, but it could have been there for ages. The car has 45k miles on the clock and the warranty is up early March. From what I have established, it is because 1/ I dont have the revs high enough when I take off 2/ There is a problem with the flywheel or 3/ My clutch is cooked, although the clutch is not slipping ( I did give the clutch a small bit of a roasting last week).

Any of you 220D guys experience this? Any ideas? I am not particularly concerned, but I would hate to do nothing only for something terrible to develop after warranty time. I will give lexus service in belfast a shout, but in the meantime, any input/ideas would be greatly received.

Cheers

Do these cars have a dual mass flywheel?
