my clutch pedal vibrates when pulling off and on occasion it judders when cold after a few gear changes it seems to be fine although the vibration is constant, ive also noticed that when left for ten mins or so the car is started and it sometimes takes a few seconds to climb to normal idle speed,when it does this i can hear a whining sound for a couple of seconds that degrades as if the starter is running on. any ideas
