Everytime I pull away in first gear, my car judders and shakes all around. Once I transfer into secound gear, everything is fine. Another way of stopping to shaking is to use a lot of clutch when pulling away. Any ideas on what this could be and how it can be solved?

The drive shaft might require inspection as the symptoms you describe seem like a failed center support bearing. Let us know if this is the correct diagnosis.
