Default Vibrating accelerator?

Has anyone ever noticed a vibration in the accelerator when first pulling away after letting the car sit for a little while. It seems that every time I get into the car after it has been parked for a while, when I first take off in 1st the accelerator pedal seems to always vibrate a bit. And then it's fine. It only occurs the first time I move her after she has been sitting for a while. Any ideas?

I think I know what the problem is. I've been asking around work and someone else had the same problem. We think its from the pressure plate and clutch plate not being alinged correctlty, so they don't make contact evenly, but rather one end is hitting first and then the rest of the plates make contact. This can then cause a sort of "bouncing" as the plates try to make even contact. At least this is our theory. I just had the upgraded clutch installed by the dealer, so maybe they didn't do a good job. Will take it in on Monday.
