I just took delivery of my 06 GT and I've already noticed a hint of vibration when taking off in first gear.

Has anyone else here experienced this?

I think you could do a search and find many threads with different types of clutch issues. You will likely find detailed answers to your question.

Congrats on your new GT... you'll love it!

You might be in 3rd gear; 1st is slight off to left.

I know, i know; we all started in 3rd once

It might just go away, once the clutch is a bit broken in. One good trick to do is to do some (controlled) downshifts when you are on the highway, decelerating the car with the clutch gripping, revving up the engine. It is a countermovement then vs the acceleration grip on the discs, and can smoothen out things on the disksurfaces, responsible for the chatter..

Thanks for the advice.
