Shouldn't have to warm through that much to get gripping, wouldn't be much good in the rally cars otherwise!
They do need a bit of heat but setting off smartly should sort that.
I can still set off in 2nd gear with a nice lift of the clutch in 2nd, fairly smoothly, against idle rpm's...They do need a bit of heat but setting off smartly should sort that.

Maybe it's because it's a 'slow' engine with short gearing, there just isn't ever much heat getting into it through significant speed differential!?
I guess I just need to drive it like I stole it a bit, or start every journey with a 2nd gear launch
Thanks for all the help so far anyway, much appreciated

Just an update.
Seems lots better now. It slips the smallest bit when cold, for maybe a gear or two, then it's solid as a rock.
Superb...
It does seem quite temperature dependant though wrt to bite. Whenever you really start to let it cool off, say in town traffic, it's a bit of an arse... once it's warm, say on my fairly open fast drive to work, it's a joy at junctions etc, no real judder. Reverse is fairly amusing with judder. It's really a case of get rolling off the throttle and let it trundle around fully engaged.
When it's stone cold it doesn't seem so bad either, but I drive gently then anyway, and I can rev-match and be steady.
Now trying to get really good at rev matching 1st to 2nd
Thanks for the help/advice wrt my clutch issues everyone
