You just need it adjusting. The judder is probably because it's not got enough pressure to bite properly because of the setting position. If you put your foot down in fifth and the revs rise but the speed doesn't, then it's knackered.

the clutch cant be adjusted, they are self adjusting, the pedal can be adjusted up or down but this does not effect the bite point.
