Don't take the fact that there's not much meat on the friction plates as meaning the clutch is worn. They tend to look knackered from new.

Judder and squeal when pulling away usually means the clutch needs cleaning out. Take off the cover, remove the six bolts holding on the clutch pressure plate and remove all the friction and metal plates. Give them a good clean, reassemble and Bob's ya uncle...

If you need more details a quick search will probably provide more info than you'll ever need....
