Clutch Replaced now it shudders all the time.

Me and my friend both have 2002 WRXs. We both had the cold clutch shudder problem and had our clutches replaced. My friends car went in before mine and when he got it back it was smooth for the first few engagements then it started shuddering much worse than before. The shuddering got worse as the car warmed up. It was very rough and made the car difficult to drive. I went in a few days later and had mine replaced, turns out my car has the same problem although when it warms up its not as bad but still causes the car to have a shake and makes the engagement rough. Has anyone had this problem after getting their clutch replaced? Do you know of any solution to mention to the dealer so this doesn't happen again? The dealer says they have never seen this.

Thanks

look at your repair order and see if they had replaced the flywheel
too. the revised clutch disc will not work with the old flywheel.

It's also possible to misalign the clutch disc when installing them. They are balanced and marked so that they balance out.

Thanks for the input. They replaced the flywheel. They are going to open it up and take a look. It's just strange that it happened to both of our cars.
