Equally, not sure if it's a "feature" but of the few I've tried a couple suffered from clutch judder when reversing slowly too! They will chatter more when hot and on idle, if they have solid flywheel conversion then they really chatter. The cluch judder in reverse may just be the diff plates over running when moving slowly...
