The clutch on my D3 was doing the same on the motorway when overtaking.
Needed new clutch and flywheel. When they were refitted the gearbox this then played up and I needed a new one.
I would get a warranty ASAP that covers the gearbox if you haven't already.

I'd try a gearbox oil change to see if that helps.
At 96k it would certainly benefit from one.
Many of us Auto's experienced judders at that sort of mileage, which were cured with an oil change.
LR oil change times are far too long IMO. I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Just picked up the wrong mileage figure when I scrolled on the topic reply page. 
Yep, I knew it was manual, just referring to auto problems that were sorted with an oil change. I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
