Is it the way I drive or is there a conflict between the creep function on sportshift and the accelerator?
When trying to manoeuvre at low speed the creep function cuts in. When the accelerator is then used it causes clutch judder. Is this normal and is there any driving technique to overcome this?

Creep mode can be a PITA
If you put any throttle on whilst it is working it confuses it
I found the best thing to do was to leave it to do its thing

At the recent service on my SS V8VR (2008MY) I bought all the genuine AM parts and the local Indy fitted them.
Reading the service section in the owners guide it mentions cleaning the "Throttle Butterfly" so I ordered an aerosol spray from Halfords for cleaning the Throttle Butterfly.
This was cleaned at the service and has definitely helped with the issue you describe although not 100% curing it, but it is much better now and has helped smooth out the SS.
I would definitely recommend cleaning this to any sportshift car, especially the older original SS cars.
