Default Bad clutch or what?

Hey guys my 92 coup[e is doing something strange latley?I am not sure if its all in my head or what,But anyways here it goes...Latley when i put it in first and start releasing the cluth im getting a big vibration until i let of the clutch .It only does it in first,and if i give it enough gas it wont do it?I know you may be thinking "well u probably dont know how to drive" but thats not the case.I have had this car for three years and i have never noticed this before.And to fill you in i did a gear swap(373) and aluminum driveshaft about 2 months ago by a good buddy of mine. could it be due to this?I dont think it is the clutch because it feels like it has alot of meat left on it.Well let me know.Its not a major issue its just kind of annoying.Thanks in advance guys!

Mine did something similar, does it if I come off the line regular driving with the rpms real low. Started doing it a couple years ago, I've since replaced the u joints on the driveshaft, replaced the tranny, and replaced the clutch... still does it. I guess it could have something to do with the clutch quadrant, that's all I havn't replaced.

What about the driveshaft itself, or maybe harmonic balancer?

sound like the clutch is off balance or the pressure plate is warped
