Default Clutch Judder

Just bought an STI Blobeye last week from subaru witn 29k miles on the clock... unfortunatly ive discovered that there is some clutch judder when setting off

Having done some research on the net, it seems it could be a warped flywheel or fingers on the pressure plate that are knackered

Only having the car 5 days, would you expect them to sort this out as its obviously been there since day one... just trying to get some feedback from here as to what people would do? cheers

i would def take it back and get them to look at it..i recently bought my99 rb5 and only week after develpoed clutch judder, though turned out that clutch was on last legs so they sorted it no problems for me..though could be warped flywheel.
in any case take it back as it was ob like that when you got it..these things dont develop over night

Thought this might be worth mentioning, there is a whine from the gearbox too, mainly when changingn down gears, just figured this was normal?

yes ive noticed alot of people are having this problem with them, but if you had just bought the car from the dealership and it had this problem would you just shrug it off as " its a common thing for scoobs to have " or would you expect them to sort it... thats the question i was asking
