Default textralia question

I have had my textralia since 8/07 and i'm not sure if its still not broken in or something else could be wrong. or its just the norm. but has anyone else had problems with the car shaking and bogging when coming out of 1st gear? most of the times i have to rev the engine at a higher rpm so it doesn't shake and bog. any help would be appreciated

Which clutch is it? Is it the twin disk setup? If so my Dad has that one in his GTO and it's an udder pain to drive. You really have to keep your rev's high.....

Is it a Z-grip or X grip??

As for chatter, I noticed it very little in the only 30 miles stop and go ive put on mine. But it should smooth out with proper break it.

Think hear you put it in second and leave the lights a few times. Try that maybe for a bit.

i "hear"....put it in 4th and let the clutch out slow a few times, like you are trying to spin it and that will seal it up.
