I have to say. I have been doing a little bit of spirited driving lately but this has never happened before. Now whenever I let out the clutch at a low rpm my car slightly shakes. But as the rpm go up, it stops. I think it is my clutch cause i have been doing stand stills and peel outs a lot lately but tell me what should be done to get it fixed!

shaking could be different things....
does the whole car feels shakey?

or do you feel shakes through the gas pedal or clutch pedal???

I think I might be having the same problem. When I start to let the clutch out from a stop (Clutchmaster's stage 2) it feels kinda like it's starting to grab, but then slipps back making the tranny vibrate. I don't know if this is what's happening but that's what I feels like. So when I start to let the clutch out gently in 1st of reverse the tranny can start to shake pretty bad. I mean it can make some pretty loud shaking noises.. I used to think it was because of my broken front tranny mount, but I just rebuilt the tranny and put new MS mounts in, and the problem is still happenning... Anybody got any ideas? Thanks.

Sounds like worn/damaged clutch linings to me.

I'm having the same trouble, I think its the flywheel. My guess is hot spots or cracks in it.

my clutch has a little bit of chatter at low rpm engagments. But it is a 6 puck and is supposed to.

It's not the flywheel, I put a new fidanza in with the transmission.

I know you've heard this before. When the accordion on my GS's intake first developed a crack, it felt similar. It would shake like crazy at low rpm, especially in low gears. If you haven't checked that, you might want to :shrug:
