I think I know what you are talking about, when you let out your clutch the car shudders as it engages.
This isn't normal, and is probably due to glazing of the clutch disk, this will form a varnish on the disk and when you engage the clutch it will grab and release the flywheel quickly before it engages completely giving you that shudder.
The reason it doesn't do it all the time when starting from a stop is because your engine rpm is a bit higher than usual and it has a smoother transition, the quicker engine rpm prevents the grab and release, it should almost never happen when you are moving because when the rpm of the engine and transmission are closely matched the catch will be instant, no need to let the clutch out slowly when you are already moving.
You can sometimes remove the varnish causing you trouble by bringing your rpm's up a little higher than usual and letting the clutch out very slowly, this can burn the varnish off and leave a fresh surface, it doesn't always work, but I have had good luck with it.

What makes a clutch judder?
Clutch Judder is caused by the clutch components and flywheel not meeting concentrically. The friction surfaces rub concentrically causing a low frequency vibration that is transmitted to the car via the engine/gearbox mountings and drive shafts. Causes can be 1) Mis-aligned clutch 2) Clutch wear/broken 'finger' springs 3) Condensation on the flywheel (usually happens on colder nights in which case judder should only last until the condensation has evaporated) 4) Contamination on the clutch such as oil from a leaking gland. Case 1 will require the clutch to be re-aligned Case 2 will require a new clutch Case 3 may happen frequently on colder mornings, but judder will disappear 5 mins into driving. Case 4 Replacement of the clutch plates Driving continuously with judder may cause damage/increase wear to engine and/or gearbox components. If judder persists take your vehicle to a garage as soon as possible.

I have a 1993 Mazda protege that will shift in all gears with clutch out and engine running but will not move is it a clutch or trannsmission?
Well first of all, if your talking about a manual shift, the clutch is. more or less part of the transmission. Sounds to me like your clutch pad / disk is worn out or you burned it up. Which can happen if you slip the clutch all the time at stop lights / signs. In that case you should probably replace the clutch plate and disk replaced, and have your flywheel resurfaced.
