Default Car Shaking

When I release the clutch, the car starts to vibrate as if it didn't want to take off, then it finally stops when the car gets going. Any Suggestions? Thanks.

sounds like clutch chatter to me? My Spec 3 did it real bad when it had very low milage on it. Then it eventually simmered down quite a bit to what it was before you just gotta give it more gas than usual and dont ride on it that long.

Was it doing this from day one of the install or did it recently start happening?

I had a clutch that was out of alignment shake the car like that. Dealer had to take it apart again and re-align everything. It would shudder real bad in 1st or reverse and go away once the car got moving. After they re-aligned, no problems. Not sure if that is your problem though as you said it started after a month of use.....

I really don't see that as a possibility. You have 3 dowel pins in the pressure plate that align with the holes in the flywheel, even if the clutch disk was off, it would certainly line up upon engine startl, besides the input shaft would have never gone in if it was out of center. Did you use a poly transmision mount? Or poly engine mounts?
