2005 corolla juddering

2005 corrolla 1.4VVTI, 330k km on the clock, always well serviced. Clutch replaced 100k km 5years or thereabouts when doing a gearbox bearing. Air filter is spotless, not checked the spark plugs yet.

When pulling away from roundabouts the last 3 days I find my Corolla giving a judder, like either the clutch is slipping or struggling for fuel. Only happens in this situation. Im driving on roundabouts around town bypass, thus I usually glide in in 5th year, and off out again and then gradually accelerate away without changing gear. Revs would drop back to 12-1500revs, not far from engine idle.

roundabouts, a mix of flat and mild uphill.

I can accelerate as hard as i like at high revs and no slipping or juddering.

Any ideas

the Haynes manual I have says there is no petrol filter.

Tried the handbrake test on the clutch this evening on flat ground and it would stall the car. I did it in 1st gear. would easily stall the car if doing it in 2nd gear or 3rd gear

Filter in tank . Pop the back seat and remove the tank sender unit, check filter and have a good look around tank for any dirt, is the fuel quality good,

AAlso try disconnecting battery for 10 min just to reset ecu
