Weird clutch issues

So I'm really not sure if this is normal i get this sound only from a stop and starting to go when in first i get like a whirling sound if that makes sense and a pretty hard vibration chatter feeling only in first when starting to move. I'm guessing the shake vibration is from my 4 torque solutions motor mounts but also in first i get a slight burnt clutch smell almost like it's dragging on the flywheel but no slipping in any other gears...
And yes i have adjusted the clutch peddle to jacks transmissions video weird thing is if I'm rolling a little bit like coasting to a stop at a red push the clutch in and the light goes green and let off the clutch and give gas it does not do it and it is really bad on hills like horrible slipping letting off the clutch and giving it gas there..
I don't know what clutch is in it but i know it's been changed it has all steel breaded clutch lines.
And i can tell the transmission has been out from the markings on the bolts.

Also if this makes sense if i have it in first gear and let off the clutch slowly with no gas to get it moving it almost feels like its going to die if that makes any sense at all

PS maybe it's a twin disc clutch in there since that seems to be a normal upgrade patch for evo's and i have never driven a twin disc before

My guess would be that your clutch is getting close to its 'use by' date.

Ya I was thinking the same thing but I have no slipping issues at all took it on the freeway on a hill put it in 5th at 40ish mph and put the pettal to the floor and no slipping at all I have tried this multiple times in all gears and nothing.. No slipping at all it's only that first gear start if I bring the rpm up to 2000k ish while stopped and then let the clutch out while in first no weird sound or shaking at all so I'd hate to pull the transmission for nothing at all but then again having to slip it in 1st gear at 2k rpm sucks also especially while on a steep hill..
Hills are pretty much the crapiest part of this

Also it almost feels like the trans is loose from the motor or loose but it's not we went over them and re torqued them just to check maybe loose flywheel ?

I guess I should clarify the loose feeling of the tranny from the motor is when it shakes really bad

Yeah, a clutch always slips first in 5th gear but only chatters in 1st. But if it actually is slipping only in 1st that makes me wonder if it could be the transmission. Maybe drop the fluid and look for pieces.

Ya going to do that this weekend once the rain stops it has no other grinding sounds it shifts nice and smooth it's just that stop to moving in first gear and if I let it slip a little longer and take it up to 2k no shaking or anything like that and the problem is much worse when the car is cold till I guess the clutch has warmed up
