Default Judder in reverse

My daughter has a 3 year old (UK) MX5. If reversing with lowish revs the car
judders. Is it the sign of a problem?

Not necessarily. If it only occurs when the clutch is partially engaged,
she needs to use more rpm and work on her clutch technique.

I thought that my US - English may be a problem!

A violent shake!
judder, shake -- (shake or vibrate rapidly and intensively; "The old engine
was juddering"

It seems cruel to the clutch to use too many revs. Could it be an engine
Mounting that is too soft?

Imagine the Queen of England in her gold coach going to open Parliament - or
Troop the Color. As the coach goes over the cobbled streets she will say to
Philip, " The coach has a real judder today"

In the states we might say the clutch "chatters". Regardless, my '98 Miata
developed a clutch chatter that, over weeks, became worse. It turned out to
be the front transmission seal leaking oil onto the clutch. The clutch and
seal were replaced under warranty. FWIW, this happened after I switched to
Red line MTL in the transmission. The dealer told me that it was common for
the seals to fail when synthetic oil was used in the transmission (possible
BS?). They did the work under warranty because the owner's manual said
nothing about avoiding synthetic lubes.

BS. While it's true that switching to synthetic after many years of dino
oil may cause seals to weep, it ain't gonna happen to any Mazda still
under warranty.

I started using MTL at 60k miles, and my tranny doesn't leak. I just
passed 128k.
