Shudder in 1st gear when engaging clutch

[christopher.austin@charnwood.gb.astra.com]

Hi,  

I have just bought a 1996 A4 2.6 Quattro from a Audi dealer in the UK.  
When I engage the clutch in first gear the car "shudders" until the gear is
properly engaged.  The shudder is worse when the car is cold. 
Is this normal for Quattros (as the dealer told me) or is it a fault?
