At 100f trans temp my 2022 CT5VBW (24k miles) has a clutch shudder right at the point where you are engaging first from a stand still.

I normally wouldn't care for a 600+ hp vehicle but this started happening out of the blue during a casual drive where it was smooth as butter before.

Is this standard behavior that I never noticed before or some kind of issue?

Only thing that has changed is that I got a fresh set of PS4S 1 day before the issue began (first new set since I've owned it). I also think I may have gotten some bad gas but its been cleared up and car is running smoothly but vibration/shudder still appears at ~100f trans temp and is kind of intermittent. Definitely more apparent at slower takeoffs and can sort of get around it by slipping the clutch more with higher RPMs

Car is balanced, aligned, 3k miles on trans fluid.
 
Tire installer burn your clutch up putting in the shop?
I actually watched the PDR it seemed like a casual/smooth pull in from what I can tell unless it's possible to fry the clutch within 30 seconds.
 
Not normal behavior. I have 52k+ miles & have not experienced this.

Perfect, will take it in and see what's going on. I’m afraid the dealership will brush it off since it’s not reproducible until the vehicle is really warmed up, have had some bad experiences.
