bmw e36 318i stuttering in 1st help?

not long bought a bmw e36 318i it has high miles 170k
it was driven fine when i bought it up till yesterday i went to pull away in 1st gear and the car started kangarooning tryin to stop and start

when i put it into 2nd gear its fine again and same in the other gears

when it starts doing it in 1st gear if i dip the clutch the car stays running and ticks over fine

if i give it a good rev there is no missfire !! everything sounds fine

i have had bmws in the past and the only thing that i feel is different is the clutch seems lower and it will try to slip if i try accelorate away while turning (it doe not slip in any other gear at any other time )

could the clutch be anything to do with the kargaroo effect im gettin from it
thanks
its not a shudder from the clutch its when i pull away and get to 2500 3000 3500 revs its starts only in 1st gear

  1. could be the transmission sounds like the 1st gear is worn out
    that its contact area with the drive shaft isn’t enough so when you rev up
    it starts slipping since it only happens with one gear
    if it happens on all gears its a clutch disk
