All engine mountings good.
The shudder shakes the whole car and is quite fierce if I ease off the pedal it reduces I have tried putting my foot on the clutch and the shudder reduces allot but still there

Try replacing both drive shafts (near side, offside).
I had the issue and after replacing them is not shaking anymore.
