clutch?, drivetrain problem? hey there people just wondering if i can get a little help !!!!!!!
well i have a spec 3 plus clutch with new mcleod master, and new 01 slave cylinder. well i have a little tiny problem when taking off in 1st gear, my car feels like the drive shaft shakes alot, or the clutch shakes with the flywheel, or the differencial shakes alot. im not sure what shakes, moves or what it just tugs from front to back and rattles and as soon as i let the clutch go all the way to the top, it feels fine , all the gears go in smooth and great its just taking off in 1st.
ive let other people drive it to proof that its not the driver and it happens to them too.
if i try to slip it a bit to move slowly it will do it
if i give it gas a bit and let the clutch go slowly it will do it also.
if i let the clutch go quickly and give it gas it will also do it .
some times it does not but most times it does.
what could it be?
anyone with any kind of info ??????????? let me know thanx

It sounds like you have a bad case of clutch chatter and spec is know for it. I had a spec 3 in for 6000 miles and it chattered the whole time till i went to the ls7.

This sounds like chatter. If you are a little quicker coming out of the pedal is should help a bit. Chatter will generally go away with miles. It is possible that you have been so tentative with the break-in that it is still seating. I suggest progressively picking up the pace a bit in terms of your agressiveness. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
