Hey Baz
I have a late 2001 Jack and I have had similar prob, but only rarely did it happened.Took the car to Holden and wouldn't pick it up until they fixed it, think your on the money with it beening a clutch prob.
Response from the same question from the
forum 31 July 2003.
Peter, this a huge and common problem with the Pet Jacks, my father has a lease plan one and his mate at the same company does too, both have the shudder prob. Holden knows about it and they are both having the clutches replaced under warranty. The lease plan vehicle my father had before that also had the prob, not as severe but was rotated before solving the problem. Get onto Holden and make them admit liability then get them onto it, I would be asking for a new clutch and flywheel machined first up! Do you have the 5th gear whine as well?? Again Holden knows about this too, so get em onto that too, there is an insulation fix to deaden the noise. Aparently it is not detremental, just annoying! Goodluck, Matt.
