I have a 99 SS m6 and when I start off in first gear from a stop the stick shift shakes. I'm not sure if it's the transmission or what... or is this normal?

try giving it a little more gas and lifting off the clutch pedal quicker so it engages sooner, otherwise i think it pretty common. ive seen it on some cars and not on others unless your describing something else.

Do you have an aftermarket clutch? Is it like a "shutter/chatter" or just a slight shake?

It's a shaking feeling. Actually the whole car feels like it shakes/shutters until the clutch is totally disengaged. It's not a real big shake but it's there.

Most guys after installing an aftermarket clutch do the drill mod on the master line regardless if the master is new. I had the Ram Powergrip HD installed and also had some chatter when it was new but that was because its a much more agressive clutch and the catch point was different with the new adjustable master. Try give it more gas and possibly do the drill mod.

I used to experience this on my stock clutch. It would shake pretty bad when leaving from a stop in 1st gear. I took it to the shop and they resurfaced the flywheel, and it fixed it. If you give it more gas though, you won't be experiencing any shakes/shutters. my .02

mine does the same thing! only at low rpm. its because the stage 3 is basically in or out, not much in between to play with. Cant slip the clutch like the stocker. no worries from what ive heard its normal. try taking off at a slightly higher rpm.

Mine does the same thing, with the RAM Powergrip. Just give it a little more gas.

I think it must be the characteristic of a high perfomance clutch.I had a RAM race clutch in my stock t/a from the previous owner and it would shake and shatter and all sorts of stupid ****. The engagement was terrible, especially at lower rpms. At higher rpm's it was better, but nowhere smooth. Then I could not longer take it. I took the RAM out and put a stock oem LUK clutch back in. The pedal was about 20 lbs lighter. The engagement was smoother, but not perfect. I was told to help break in it by shifting into 3rd and and bascially "fluttering" the clutch. In other words have it in third let(not for very long though, I think I did it twice) the clutch out about 3/4 and run the rpm's up to 2,000, but not stalling the vehicle, you wont' be moving either. I guess this would basically burn any oils of on the surface. This seems to help and the engagment is really smooth.
