Missed that yer bugger.

Well I wondered if the little fluid damper on the slave cylinder may be at fault but didn't want to take it off so as the pedal bite is a little low I thought I would bleed it through and replace the fluid at the same time.

So I bled the slave cylinder and changed the fluid in the process...hey presto, clutch judder gone.
Pedal bite not improved but hey ..result

Nearly right and maybe right but no air came out when I bled it...dont think so anyway.

but bleeding cured it.

Always nice to have an easy and cheap fix.
Wouldn't have thought it.
