Hey all, I've had my car since October (and had to get a new clutch in it around then as well). Recently my car has started shaking (sometimes quite violently) when I pull off in 1st. It doesn't happen when I first start driving but as a general rule it starts going funny after about half an hour, sometimes later. Any clues, I don't thrash my clutch so I'm wondering if they replaced it with bad parts.
Any advice?
(Sorry for the state of this post it's my first haha)

Does it do it when the car has been stoped for sometime and been damp, say overnight.

Nothing wrong with your first post, Joe. Welcome to the forum.
That's often called clutch chatter and can happen from bad clutch habits, hot spots (uneven wear), or when first installed, can improve with smooth use as it wears in.
If it doesn't improve, your flywheel may be warped and in need of machining, which should have been done as part of the clutch change.

No, the opposite, gets worse as I do more driving

Ok.
Mine does it as I described. Only lasts for milliseconds then not again for month on end.
