Default Spec 3+ clutch or tranny noise and shake

2000 Formula-----I just had a spec 3+ clutch put in and now when I let of the clutch around 800 or 1000 (slow starts since it's a new clutch) i can hear a metal rattling sound til the car starts moving and car is in gear. And I can feel the car shaking. No problems shifting though thru all 6 gears (7 counting reverse) once I'm moving.. Any ideas???

Its called clutch chatter and will go away after you break the clutch in . You do know there is about a 800 - 1000 mile break in period right ? Also the STG 3 + is an aggressive clutch anyways and will not slip . Its very grabby and that can cause some noise if you try to roll out on the clutch like a stock one .

thanks for the help. I know about the break in, but just didn't know if this was part of it

Its a rough clutch and will take some time to get use to . They are even worse if you have a bigger cam and rougher idle .
