Is a juddery clutch common?

I questioned the gear box in my Z but after about 4000 miles she got broken in and now she shift like butter after warm up... She like it when you beat the "sweet spot" Cant be too soft.

Why do you think that it was the car learning how you shift instead of you learning how the car likes to be shifted?

That's not what I said. My car was brand new and a brand new clutch has to be broken in and during this time they can let off bad smells and be extra sensitive. So a few hundred miles after "break in" all shifts are normal without smells, clunk/click noises, etc. And I control her the way I want

I saw my own experience differently. The car didn't "break in", I just learned how to shift it smoothly.

That was three years ago. My brand new 2014 Touring Sport 6MT with brand new clutch and brand new smells....I can shift that smooth as buttah from day 1. I suppose they might be building them better, but I was thinking that it's more likely that I can run the 6MT better after 3 years of practice. Is why I bring up the observation...
