clutch problems
I was out playing with the car (maybe a little rough) last night. After a few practice launches i decided to go home. I stopped and eased out 1st gear and clutch pedal felt "clunky" and the car shivered at low speed. I get home and decide to let it cool down and try it in the morning. Well its still shivering as i ease out the clutch in 1st but the car doesn't shiver as i get into higher speeds and gears. any thoughts on what it might be? oh the clutch oem also. thanks guys

i kinda have a fear of being crushed but do you mean jackstand for changing a tire or will i need to go to auto store and get one that will get the car off the ground more. ive never used the jack in the FD so i dont know how high it goes. i do have some rhino ramps will that allow me enough room to get the plate off?

I've never used the ramps, so I have no idea how high they will get you.
With this car, I would suggest getting a good set of jackstands and a floor jack unless you have a mechanic you trust who is going to do all your work.
Something like this:
Jackstands
Floor jack
I'm not a fan of that jack as it only goes up about 14", but it is light.

hey guys just took the car to a mechanic and he calls me back to show what he says are bad rear mounts and motor mounts. now i don't know much about how much elasticity or play a motor mount should have but these had about 1''-1.5'' range of motion. but anyways i still think its the clutch and he thinks its the motor mounts. what do you guys think?

If you're getting a shuddering from an easy take off in first gear from a stop, it sounds like the face of your flywheel might be warped, or your clutch disk is damaged. Once the clutch stops slipping and you start moving down the road it will stop. This is a drivetrain issue.
