Default 1st Gear Shudder

Three days ago I noticed an intermittent shudder when letting out the clutch from a full stop and it is getting worse. It feels as if it is coming from the rear diff? Is this possible? Any thoughts...diff, clutch, transmission? Please advise

PS No other symptoms such as clutch slippage or hunting for gears (even with a Tanoga).

Does it happen when the car is cold? Maybe need to bleed your clutch. How's the brake fluid level?

Default All the time

Car can be hot or cold and it shakes. Brake fluid is fine. Clutch bleed is a thought but wouldn't I be having problems with other gears while in motion?
