Default Clutch judder

I've only had my WRX for 4 days and I'm absolutely loving it.
Only one thing, not too serious though.

Dunno if this topic has been covered before but has anyone else had a bit of a judder when the clutch is cold? I found this on a UK website:

3.5 Clutch judder

3.5.1 ... when cold

This is caused by the material used to with stand the abuse given to it by owners.....usually ok when warmed up. Can also be caused by problems (wear/dirt ?) with the special platinum spark plugs used in the Impreza. Replacing these at the 15,000/30,000 mile service can cure the problem (although sometimes only for a month or so!).

Another suggestion has been to treat your Impreza to several full bore standing starts (when warm of course), which apparently helps clean up the surfaces of clutch components.

I don't want to make the problem worse or fuck it up completely. ie, I don't really want to do any more leaping starts until I know it can handel it.
