Default clutch.....

jus ordered a spec stage 2+ clutch, i installed it the way it was suppose to be stalled.
now in first gear when im taking off, theres seems to be alot of shaking in the tranny or the rear end not to sure.
did i do something wrong?
does it need to be broken in?
do i need to upgrade some parts like tranny bushing, TQ arm, etc?
or what.......
someone help me out.......

I have the Textralia clutch, love it btw, and I had clutch "shudder" for the first 90 miles. Then I made 9 passes down the track. It went away. I am not saying to do that on your clutch, but I am saying it is probably the clutch breaking-in or seating itself to the flywheel.

Others who have that clutch should chime in. But that has happened on all my after market clutches and I wouldn't worry too much. Heck, my very old McLeod whatever from 4 years ago did that until the end of it's life. But the new clutches seem to be far better.

It is a common problem, seems more prevalent wiith the spec's.
Most seem to break them in & in lessens, your gonna have to see.
