Default Rear end problems in 1st

Every once in a while (actually half the time maybe, just picked up a 02Z heavily modified) when I start out in 1st gear from a stop the rear end starts to hop and jump a little. It feels like it has something to do with the clutch or flywheel but I have no idea. It has a stage 3 clutch in it and I suppose a after market flywheel.

It goes a way once I start to roll a little but I have no idea whats making this happen. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Anyone have any ideas?

It's only from a stand still and when I ease out the clutch slowly. It's fine if I let it out quick but then the car just jumps and looks dorky

A friend of mine installed a Spec clutch in his high HP car. Taking off in a conservative way made the whole driveline rattle and shake. You could see the rear wheels vibrating. Spec said give it about 400 miles of use and it will go away. He ran out of patience way before that. Had it replaced with a Textralia clutch....much better.

Yeah that sounds just like what's going on with my car. I really don't want to have to replace the clutch and flywheel though.

It is clutch chatter. The stage 3 will chatter if it is not broken in properly. It is a little aggresive for the street

The spec stg 3 will always chatter some, most will chatter pretty bad forever.
