Could also be clutch fluid leak contaminating flywheel

Hey,
Just wanted to throw one more scenario at you:
It could also be a problem like my '84 900S currently has. I had shuddering/vibration when "taking off" in first gear and also in reverse. Then, my brake fluid light came on (same resevoir supplies clutch system). I had a leak from the clutch cover area--my clutch slave cylinder had sprung a leak. The fluid was getting onto the clutch pressure plate & flywheel, causing slippage and shuddering upon take-up.
Look at the brake fluid level--its dash light could burn out, you know--to make sure you aren't losing fluid. My clutch was leaking so much there was a puddle forming when I stopped at a gas station. It leaked directly from the lower inspection hole in the clutch housing onto the ground.

'84 900S, 240K mi., which needs a clutch kit :(
