Default clutch installed..should it feel this way?

i just had the king cobra clutch, New flywheel, aluminum driveshaft installed in my 94 gt. I heard its a good idea to let the clutch break in around 500 miles. First gear feels funny. when i let the clutch out theres alot of vibration in the peddal and feels weird. is it just park of the break in? should this go away after a little bit? i know some people got the adjustable clutch cable. is this a sign that i may need this? everything else works fine. shifts and drives great. thanks for the help
