I don't have shudder on the Z but it does like a slighly higher rpm when engaging 1st than other cars.

Mine has a mild shudder which has not changed much since I took delivery and I now have 1800 miles. It depends on how you start off in 1st. It's smooth if you keep the rpms around 2 k on startup and then it engages OK. If you start will little power then you can detect a bit of vibration. I notified my dealer about it already and am keeping an eye on it and if it does not smooth out by 3 or 4k miles i'll request that they address it. It could be a number of things but I suspect maybe a slight misalignment in the pp assy who knows at this point.
