You have to let it warm up to normal operating temperature. Once it reaches 180-190 degrees it should not do it any longer. Know your car

Idea, just keep trying to duplicate the problem every time you hop in your car and it won't do it.. lol j/k..
Is it the feeling of when you just hop in your car and the clutch kinda chatters a bit when you go to take off.. mine does it a bit when its cold out in the winter, or very rarely when I leave my car sitting for a day or two, then drive it.. once it warms up, its fine.

I agree. I used to have the same problem. let it warm up and it should be fine.

assesssssss, the whole lot of ya,,,j/k......just half of ya,,,,,i was thinking it was that it needed to be warm but that's not the case, it only does it in first, so yes to that ques, at first i did think it was the cold/warm thing b/c it only did it when i first started up and took off, but today it started doing it after the car was warmed up, i shift just fine, if you can drive 3 on the column your good for life/lol/,,,,,i played with different shifting rpm's and sometimes it will do it sometimes it wont, fuq it im taking it in...oh well
