Default tranny help?

I just got my tranny rebuilt and got the car back and when i take off from a stop it bounces or hopes and i think that it might be the clutch or pressure plate. I have to take my foot completely off before it grabs and i am wondering if the clutch is gone and so is the pressure plate or the clutch is just so loose and needs to be tightened up. If anyone can help please let me know what you think it might be.

well i thought that it was in ok condition but i guess not. i really think that it could be the flywheel cause first gear is what gives me a problem from a stop cause it like jerks the car back and forth unless i take my foot completly off the clutch it won't do it.

A simple check to see if the torque arm and xmember mounts are correctly installed might be the first step.
