I have a 1994 Z28 with almost 120,000 miles on the original transmission. When I shift from 1st to 2nd going at low speeds (5-10mph) there’s alot of vibration (enough to shake the car) as I let off the clutch. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it does happen whether the trans is hot or cold. What could this be the cause of this? ---

How old is the clutch? ---

I had the clutch replaced less than a year ago. ---

Offhand, sounds like a clutch chatter. Hopefully they replaced the throw-out bearing and pressure plate also, along with making double sure the original flywheel is not scored, burnt, or distorted. A faulty flywheel could do it and so could a leaking oil leak that leads to disc contamination. If the car has been hammered a bit with a little street racing it’s also possible the disc could be glazed. ---

The clutch may be adjusted to grab too near the floor. This usually causes the shake when starting in first gear, but I will bet that it is possible only in second. You could have a bad engine or transmission mount too. Pure guesswork by me. Even so; it may be worth checking.
