Shudder when starting in 1st gear

This just started recently. When I let off the clutch in 1st gear from a stop I get a shudder/large vibration through the whole truck (enough to make my cd skip). This only happens in 1st gear, not even in reverse. It doesn't feel like it is slipping and puls strongly and shifts smoothly. Once i get off the clutch and just driving in 1st gear, it's fine.

 

I did an auto to manual swap a couple years ago. I used a new clutch and flywheel from autozone with the lifetime warranty and new throwout bearing and pilot bushing. Any ideas?

besides clutch, to bearing, pressure plate?. hmm... how's the fluid in the clutch?

 

I'll check on those when I get home. I wsa thinking about the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and pilot bushing, but whe would that happen only in first gear. Last night i had an idea though. What do you think about a motor or tranny mount. It might make sense that a mount might be out and it would affect the vibration based on foward or reverse rotation of the tranny.

got oil on your clutch I bet.

 

search for "clutch Chatter".

 

does your rig leak any oil at all, Clutch chatter normally happens when taking off and when there is Oil on the clutch.
