Evo sputtering?

Hey guys, need some input on what's going on with my car.

The car will sputter or feel rough when I'm driving out of 1st gear or even reverse, but once I'm out of the gears and driving normally, everything is fine. There's not any weird noises from the transmission or clutch area. It just happened randomly. I don't dog, launch, or beat on my car, other than a few spirited pulls.

Today the car was driven like any other day, nice and easy and when I was leaving from my haircut, I noticed what was goin on. At first I thought maybe the car wasn't warmed up fully, but it was. The car is 72k miles, ACT clutch, shep transfer case. The car has never done this and has never felt rough while driving. Like I said, this started out of the blue. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

Yeah they have been changed.

Did some research, some people with the same symptoms have said warped flywheel. Hoping that's not the problem though.

Hello! Check your coils and Plugs. I had the same issue and it turn out to be that one of my plugs wasnt gapped properly.

I'll double check them. I'm hoping it is a simple fix. I did a 3rd gear pull yesterday and had a misfire so maybe it could be the plugs! Thanks.
