Default Do I Need to Turn My Drive Shaft 180 Degrees? ? ..... Help me out!

I changed my clutch out two days ago, the one with the monster level 3. In first gear it shakes/vibrates pretty bad right before I disengage the clutch completely. It's like if I give it too much RPM's it shakes. Could it be just breaking in the clutch or the drive shaft? If you guys think it could be something else please let me know, I've never changed out a clutch before so I'm not sure if this is just part of breaking it in.

if you dont experience excess vibration at highway speed, your driveshaft should be in fine. if you only experience vibration/chatter leaving from 1st, its just your clutch breaking in.

Mine did the same while breaking in my monster clutch. It went away at about 200 miles.
