Clutch is "shaking". Maybe...

noquarterMember

First let me say I haven't driven a manual gear car for years, and none of them had much power. So maybe I'm too sensitive. But, the Pantera I bought in September had a new red clutch. Worked fine as far as I remember. Now after it's my daily driver in the spring, the clutch seems to shake a 3-5 times when leaving from standstill. I can avoid it by filing the clutch or letting it engage faster, and it's only from standstill, not 1-2, 2-3 etc.?
I've tightened all engine and gearbox mounts though they seem OK, and the bolts between engine and gearbox.
I had a post before about black sooth coming out the square hole at the top, it still does that. It looks like clutch material, looks wet but when rolled between fingers, there's no liquid in it.
Any ideas? Should I just forget it and drive?
