gear engagement after new clutch

i just had the clutchmasters stage 3 clutch installed today with the oem dual mass flywheel. Installation went good and everything seems to be ok other than the fact that engaging into a gear at idle is extremely difficult and car slightly vibrates when in gear. Once you get going everything seems to engage ok but is still a little bit hard to put in gear. anybody ever experience this or know what it could be? the shop that installed it was closed after i started noticing so i didnt get a chance to talk to them yet. I understand the car will be rough for a little while breaking in the clutch but i dont see that it would effect the gear engagement

So you're saying with the clutch pushed in, you're having a hard time putting the shifter into first?

Or are you saying that with the car in first you're having a hard time getting the rolling?

If it's the first situation then it sounds like your clutch isn't fully disengaging. If that's the case, you'll kill your trans real fast if you keep driving it.

First check your shifter alignment, then maybe try bleeding your clutch slave cylinder. If none of that works you probably have something wrong with the new clutch...
