Default CLUTCH PROBLEM!!!??

hey guys, i've been searching everywhere for a solution to this problem, but can't find anything. Ok...soo, in my 05 GT, i shift into first at a stop light, and as im slowing letting go of the clutch and giving gas to move, the car vibrates as if my clutch is in limbo between in and out, but its never done this before. All of a sudden, its been acting up like this. I know my clutch isn't slipping, but i can't put my finger on it. I took it to the dealership, but they coudln't duplicate it...and so, i wd-40ed the clutch pedal area, which made the clutch pedal move more freely and that seemed to work for a bit. But now she's acting up again. I have no frickin idea what is wrong with my clutch. It only happens when im at a stop and trying to go. its so frickin annoying, everyone on my street things im crazy because i keep stopping and going a million times.... HELP!!!! Thanks

Might not be giving it enough gas or letting the clutch out slower.

Mine does it every once in awhile in the cold but after the car warms up it quits. Are you feeling it in the pedal like me?

It is calledclutch chatter. It can be common on high performance large diameter clutches.

I geta bit on mine when the car is cold. Also, if I heat up the clutch a little too much playing around, it will glaze a bit and chatter a little for a while.

If it is as all the time deal. It may be a warped disk. Never know. Did you ever really cook the crap out of this clutch?
