could be a miss fire, shudder could mean alot of things, do u mean as you are leaving out the clutch? If yes then it is probably clutch/flywheel

mine does it too and the clutch is only 3 weeks old. All new parts. When I was in there I found that the input shaft to the tranny had a wobble. My thought is that right there. Need to pick up a tranny and get it rebuilt and put in I guess.

i have a very noticeable shudder when i let out my clutch too. i can't tell you what it is since i don't really know, but i suspect it is coming from the clutch/flywheel area....if you can deal with the sound and it drives fine i wouldn't really worry about it, my jeep has been doing that pretty much since i bought it a couple years ago and it hasn't gotten any worse or any better
