Shaking on take off?
My Evo recently has been shaking slightly on take offs. It seems like the drivetrain shakes slightly or stutters and it never did this before. It only does it on normal takeoffs, I have 11K miles and the clutch is strong so I know it isn't that it holds high load pulls and grabs gears hard. Im lost

Does it only do it when its cold? Mine started doing that about 3000 miles before the clutch went. And when the clutch goes, you won't notice it on takeoff. High load in high gears it when it will slip. I actually did a couple of autocrosses with no problem after my clutch started slipping. It still grabbed hard in first and second.

I was told that when the car is "cold" not necessarily cold outside, that it can be normal as long as its not chronic. Mine will do it once when the car is cold pulling out from a stop up a slight grade near my work after it sits all day. After that, its fine. Bump for anymore info.

X2 - my evo did this when cold with a ACT clutch, and my civic does it when cold or when clutch gets used alot like in stop and go traffic, my civic has had the clutch chatter for 80k miles no problems, just annoying.
