Clutch vibration in 1st gear??

Hey guys i am about to take a look at a 93 TA lt1, M6

the guy says that if you take off in first gear, the clutch seems to vibrate???

and apparently a mechanic told him that it was a shield.. but in other gears does not do the vibration.

Need to know quick...

please help, and thankyou Chase

Probably not the clutch if it does it only in first,more likely the tranny.

It could also be the motor mounts. it's really hard to say without driving it.

If ya drive it and ya don't like the vibes(feels serious)see if he will come way down on the price to help cover the repair,ya never know. May wind up to be a "u" joint.

Universal joint in the drive shaft about $10.00.
