Default Clutch/engine shake only in 1st gear

Taking it in Wednesday to Ford but thought I'd see what people can tell me here first.

The clutch pedal (and perhaps engine as well) is shaking only in 1st gear and the throttle isn't very responsive like it is not transferring torque very well in my opinion. To combat this without too much shaking is to rev it 500-1000 above idle and take off. Does it sound like clutch disk or motor mounts? Clutch pedal has perfect pressure no issues.

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like the clutch disc is a little glazed. You can sometimes ease this by slowly driving a block or two with partial engagement, skimming off the glazed stuff.

You are outta luck with Ford from a warranty standpoint on a clutch disc, if that's what it is. Warranty on those is one year.

Motor mounts super not likely. These hydro mounts don't break unless you are an extreme drag racer.

I think I'll go to a different dealership and see their opinion. It isn't normal and has never occurred before and it isn't me since I've driven a year. Thanks for your help!!
