When the tranny and engine are cold (say, first start of the morning, when I'm going to work). I start it up, throw it in first, take it to about 2000 RPM and start to ease the clutch out. It will start to catch, then all of the sudden it will start jerking violently. the car will lurch forward, hesitate, lurch and so on, and the front wheels hop really bad. I can also feel the vibrations coming back through the clutch pedal. After several shifts or after driving for a while, it will stop doing this and will not do it again for the rest of the day. Is my clutch about to kick the bucket?

And it has NOT been doing this since I got the car, it only started in the last few months... Thanks guys!
