hey guys.. so here's how the new clutch feels now. need some help. how do u guys break in clutch?

1) the clutch pedal vibrates.. from initial step to engagement point, it vibrates hard. can make my feet numb. doesn't vibrate when it's fully depressed.

2) The car is really hard to get off on first gear now. On a complete stop, if i left go of clutch just a little, car stalls.. need some gas to just get the car moving.

3) I can't get into gears half the time.. on the drive home, if I double clutch, I can get into gear easily.. say driving at 50mph and I'm in 4th gear. I fully depress clutch, I just can't get into 5th no matter what. Have to let go of clutch, then clutch again to get in. same goes for almost every gear.. but random times I can go in easily.

4) There's some loud noises when the clutch is engaged. From outside of the car, it sounds like metal hitting metal. pretty loud. but this is prob from the shudder. hope it goes away after break in.

woooot problem fixed.. just had to break it in more.. I just went out n drove around 60 miles and it all went away. clutch is smooth as butter now. still a little shudder but that should go away after a few more hundred miles.

new clutch feels gooood man! engagement is so fast now. I was talking to tha shop's owner.. he was dyno tuning 2 Evo X.. exhaust, intake, boost control and a dyno got him over 90hp conservatively.. mod bug bite me instantly right there..
