Default coming off clutch isn't feeling right

are you supposed to be able to get the car rolling to decent speed by just putting it in first and easing off the clutch until the car starts moving? i could do it in my 06 Si like nothing--i could get the car rolling and be able to come off the clutch with the car smoothly in motion, but i can't do this in my S. should i be able to? i just got the complete brand new OEM clutch package installed. also, when i'm coming off the clutch while shifting, i can feel vibrations in the clutch pedal/hear slight vibration noises. is this normal?

I'm only able to if I don't have time to warm up the car in the morning. It would idle at around 2000rpm at start up, and I would ease of the clutch and let it roll to around 12mph, then shift to 2nd. If the car is warmed up, I'd let it roll to around 5mph and continue with gas.

what if it starts getting rough and feels like it's going to stall if you dont give it gas at that friction point? is this normal? and what about the vibrations in the pedal?

Yeah, there's a lot of vibration near the release point if you're slowly lifting off the clutch and you're not putting gas in. If you're really worried, get it checked out.

I'm just curious. Is your pinky constantly on the shift button or is you caps lock set on default on? For the human eye perception, it takes longer to comprehend an all caps sentence as opposed to one that's gramatically correct.

i'm not going to honda for them to charge me $60 then still not know what the problem is. whenever honda has fixed our cars, they haven't fixed the problem then we have to take it back. thanks for the advice, though. if it gets worse then i'll get it checked out.
