Question Shake at low speed take off

So I just had Yimi sport in socal put a new clutch in the rex. They did a good job. But as I was pulling onto base today Inoticed that when Im pulling away from the ECP at very low speeds the the car kinda shakes shutters or shimmys as im releasing the clutch and it also does it as im doing same in reverse. Now I dont want to point fingers at them and say you you if it can be something else. Like I said shop looks to be good and they seem to know what they are doing. oh car has 102k on it 75k of those miles where put on by Lisa the ex wife so not a hard 75 at all. and the others where me and her and some spirited driving may have taken place but no hard take offs and never a side step. TIA Miguel

Is it the "about to stall" shakes or something else?

The shudder you're experiencing is normal. It's normal for any new clutch even in a new car. The more you drive it, the better it gets. No worries, just drive it more and it'll get better.

I should also point out that from my experience, I had a ACT heavy duty clutch installed and experienced the infamous shudder that you're experiencing as well. Gets better with driving. Good luck! =]

I would feel the same in previous vehicles (Mustang GT and Celica GTS) when a new clutch would be thrown in. Kind of stressful when you think the shop did it wrong but it does get cleaner after its broken in.

my clutch does this too, but my clutch isnt new... it does it when ever its cold, when the clutch warms up it seems to be alright. but it shakes really bad. i was talking to this dude at work and he said his toyota did the same thing and he changed out the motor mount and it went away.
