Problems: Flywheel too low?

got my flywheel resurfaced when I installed my spec II, now in first gear the car shudders a ton unless I kinda gun it. My flywheel too low?

BTW: Its in balance, we checked it, double checked it, and triple checked it.

Did you shim the flywheel after resurfacing it?

At what RPMs does it shutter at.
A clutch like that does not like low Rpms.
If mine gets down to maybe 1000-1200 it the car starts jolting kind bad.

around those rpms as well as up to maybe as high as 2500 in first gear if I am just driving under normal conditions. Under fast/hard conditions, there is no shuddering at all.
