Clutch shudder when setting off in 1st gear

I definitely find this to be evident! I usually just shift into second and give gas but the car really doesn't want to go into 1st gear unless stopped.

i find it makes right turns very awkward and red lights that magically turn green a nightmare.... almost feels like its gonna stall. and today i decided to try and ride the clutch a bit.....this will not fix anything, make alot of noise then bounce. lol. guess we gonna have to live with it or change the gears.....

I sometimes double clutch to get into 1st gear easier... i.e. clutch out, raise RPMs 500-1000 higher than idle, clutch in and shift into 1st gear at a slow rolling speed. This is all at below 5mph speeds of course.
