Default Peer Pressure = Bad First Gear?
AIGHT... so i did a break stand in my car yesterday (peer pressure is a bitch) and now when i take off first gear chatters a little bit... not real bad but enough for me to notice.

Its when i first take off slow it will vibrate... kinda hard to explain sorry

anyone have any ideas what i can start to look for?

I assume you mean "brake stand". In any case, what is it?

Its where you hold the gas and the brakes, to make the rear tires spin.

power brake here as well. if you never done it before, get prepared to spend some money, LOL maybe you can peer pressure your buddy into paying for it. hmmmm.......don't think so, I guess that is why when someone "peer pressures" me I tell them to go break there own car. By the way, power braking is usually best done on an auto, could have just lauched her good, mine in a stock configuration would burn through 3rd gear, never thought about power braking it, really no need.

Its best to use a Line Lock, so just the front wheels stay locked and you don't burn your clutch or your rear brakes.
