2016(mt) shuddering on clutch out when cold.

Maintenance:Wrench:

So lately my car has been shuddering when getting going from a stop when the weather and car is still cold. Almost like it's stalling. It seems to go away once the car warms up and as its never done this before in the past so I assume my driving style is not the issue. It is avoidable if I build the revs up to 1800+ and go painfully slowly off the clutch - 7-10 seconds kind of slow.

The clutch isn't slipping, although the pedal feels slightly gritty at the very end of its throw. But that's been happening in cold weather since I bought the car.

Anyone experienced this before or have any clues as to what it might be?
