Default Clutch Shudder

Hey all,

Story goes.

Currently running in my car. Gertrude (my gc8) is on about .7bar and pumping out some awesome amount of HP (130 or something lol). Now my question is, what would cause my clutch to shudder? I have not been dishing abuse to it because im running it in (just loading the engine up with hills, high gears etc etc). I took 4 mates to freo on friday night and it begun to shudder near the end of the trip, as if it was struggling having 5 people in the car.

Its an RMS build HD organic (i think thats what it is) and has maybe the best part of 5,000kms on her as it had to get replaced cause it slipped after 1 hard launch before the run in. If i slip the clutch a little it seems to take the shudder away for a while.

Spose the question is, why would it shudder? Is it a tell tail sign of a stuffed clutch again?

Thanks,

Eric
