Default Mondeo MC TDCI - Shudder in 1st gear & Reverse, and rough changes in lower gears

Hi all,
I have a 2011 MC Mondeo with 150K on the clock. I have driven it for about 25K.

It is shuddering considerably in 1st gear (and in reverse). It is worse when going really slow or driving on an incline. It's been getting progressively worse.

The the lower gear changes can also be a bit jerky (whereas when at speed, the gear changes are silky smooth).

I had a mate look at it and he reckons the transmission fluid is dirty - But this doesn't make sense as it has had its transmission serviced at the specified intervals and it was last serviced just before I bought at at 125K (I rang the dealer service center and checked).

If I put it into Manual mode and take off in 2nd gear, there is no shuddering typical of 1st gear or reverse.

I am wondering what it is:
- is it the clutch?
- is my transmission f'd?
- is it a faulty sensor?

Any recommendations for where to take it to get looked at in Sydney?

Thanks in advance.
