Question car shakes while clutch engages

My car shakes when I engage the clutch for the first few times after getting in the car after it has not ran for a night or so. It feels like the clutch is shaking or at least I think it is the clutch. What is this phenomenon called and what is it. Oh yeah it goes away after the first few launches. Help please! And the car only has 13,000 miles on it, it is an 03'.

it is called clutch chatter. go back to your dealer and get the flywheel and clutch replaced under warranty....
this occurs due to the flywheel heating up unevenly during the start up... after that you don't experience it anymore beacuse it goes away after it has warmed up.

anwyays there is a TSB on it.... give you dealer sh*t if they haven't heard about this problem before.
