low speed shudder

I notice these days that on 1st gear while creeping along at really slow speeds, the car seem to shudder. It goes away when I depress the clutch pedal or climb to a faster speed. It is not stalling kinda symptom. Just seems to jerk a bit.
Anyone have this problem? Is it engine mount?

i get this too.. not as bad when my mount broke but it is still kind of jerky at low rpm's just creeping along. i had just came to a conclusion for myself that the 8 does not like creeping along.

Actually my GC8 2.5RS shuddered at low speeds too.

Anyone else notice it on more recent models? I have a 2009 and there is sometimes a shudder/funny transmission feeling in first at very low RPM, disappears as soon as I start to accelerate.
