With the petrol smell it's a case of checking for any sign of leaks . As for juddering , could be because of misfire , engine/ gearbox mountings or clutch itself . Without road testing car , hard to say . If caused by misfire , and you've already replaced plugs , could be an ignition / plug lead breaking down under load . Could also check air filter condition and any breather hoses .
