Nervous Clutch!

I just noticed this the other day, but Im not sure if its been like that the whole time. When I engage my clutch, just a half inch, is it supposed to shake like that? Mine feels all shaky, is that just cause its not all the way in? I dont remember this doing it when I first got it, but I dont remember. I was sitting in a driveway waiting to pick someone up and I just put the clutch down like half an inch and it just felt all shaky, wasnt sure if that was normal?

Our clutches do this when the drivetrain is cold. People who've changed out the clutch line say it goes away when you get rid of the restrictor. I haven't personally verified this.

I was told that we had a ceramic clutch (by the dealer's salesman though). If that's the case (and based on similar situations with ceramic brake pads), then it's quite normal that it doesn't bite that well when it's cold.

Can anyone verify that fact though (about our clutch being ceramic). I was also told that our pistons are ceramic coated... but I can't find any onfo to verify this yet.
