Default Spec Stage 3+ questions

I just had a Spec Stage 3+ installed and my flywheel turned and I've got a question about the clutch engaging in 1st gear.

When I let it out, 90% of the time it shudders and makes the car shudder too for a second before it goes into gear. Other than that the clutch drives good, goes into every other gear smoothly, or even first when I'm rolling it'll go into smoothly. Just from a stop. The shop that installed it said that'd get better as it broke in, and on a few occasions I've taken off w/o it occuring. So I know that part of it is just not being used to the engagement point of the new clutch.

But is this fairly normal, and will it get better?

Yes and yes. Should be gone after several hundred miles of street driving. Mine drives almost like stock.

Alright thanks, I forgot to search before posting, but most the results I came up with said the same thing. After break in it's pretty much gone.

thanks
