My ex Mrs drives a VW golf. She is saying that the clutch pedal judders when fully depressed. I noticed it myself when I drove the car a few weeks ago.

Anyone got any idea what could cause this?

could be a clutch on the way out, could be a leak from the crankshaft seal causing bother with the clutch.

Does it do it when just depressing the clutch without attempting to pull away or when it is under load? Other possibilities are worn inner CV joints or knackered engine mounts if it does it when pulling away.

its just when depressing the clutch. When the pedal hits the floor you can feel the judder
