Hello, I have a the car listed above duratec ti-vct.

When I am setting off in the morning my car is fine and does not suffer the problem I am about to explain.

One the engine has warmed up and I am setting off from a standing start gear first to second will judder. Gear second to third is fine and it appears the quicker I set off the less juddering I will get.

Have you any ideas?
