Subtle Clutch Judder

My 2005 C2S has had slight clutch judder since I bought it from an OPC with 19k miles on the clock. It was intitally very obvious. After 1 month they 'fixed it' (probably burnt the debris off!)

This lasted a week and after this they agreed to replace the clutch. I asked them to check the RMS at the time which they did and they said it was fine and shouldn't be replaced if it wasn't causing problems.

Now, after the clutch change and a month of the most amazing traction without judder I detect slight judder again, especially after a minor 'stretch' of the old girl's legs and even more so in reverse.

I'm not a fussy bloke but wonder......Any advice?
 
All of the Porsches I have owned have had slight clutch judder at some point during ownership (944, 986, 2*996, 997) but I have never had to replace a clutch. In my experience when they get hot they do judder very slightly when pulling away with relatively low revs (circa 1000). I found that giving the car a good thrash from standstill, dropping the clutch at about 5000rpm, cleans up the plates and the issue goes away for a while.

Excellent - my sort of cure!
