Default Clutch issues...

I had a SPEC Stage 2 installed about 2 months ago...

I broke it in right, I drove 470 to 500 miles real easy before laying into it.

But when the car is cold, trying to pull out, when the clutch starts to engage, it starts vibrating like a bitch. Then shifting into 2nd, 3rd, etc. when the clutch is let out if vibrates.

When the car warms up it will vibrate pulling out but not as bad going into gears?

Anyone have any idea what this could be?

Sounds like your clutch fork is on the cog wrong. I had the same problem on my spec stage 2. You have to have the cog that you align the fork on turned a certain way. Some of the contact areas on the cog itself are larger-(those are the ones you want the fork to slip over). I could not get my clutch to work because the fork kept falling off. This could be your problem. Did you get your flywheel resurfaced, or is it a new flywheel?

Already been there. Learned the hard way too. I replaced the clutch with a spec stage 2 and it still did it turns out all I had to do was spend 20 bucks to get the flywheel resurfaced. Put it back in and it was smooth as a babys butt. Get it resurfaced and I bet your chattering problem will go away.
