Shaking at first gear

Shaking at first gear
Good evening honda tech. My 96 civic cx has a problem when I'm in first gear and slowly letting go of the clutch and accelerating, the car starts to shake and it feels sluggish to when it goes but 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th are fine it's just 1st. Remind you that I just put in a new clutch and transmission. Can someone have any idea why it's causing it to lose power then slowly move the car. I was thinking it can be the wires, distributior, and plugs but before I change those parts has anyone experienced this issue?

Well...if we're ruling out driving technique, clutch adjustment (as related to driving technique), and other factors like having the AC on...
Shaking:
-you have hotspots on your flywheel because you didn't resurface it.
-you have oil or grease on the flywheel or pressure plate surface.
Loss of power:
-you turned the motor clockwise while trying to loosen/tighten some bolts and jumped a tooth on the timing belt.

I bought a durlast clutch from auto zone nothing crazy I just wanted it to fit my car and I didn't take off the distributor but maybe the last owner did and messed up the timing

Same scenerio as b series, point cam to tdc and crank, make sure belt didn't skip teeth. Then use a timing light to sync the marks on the crank pully with the timing mark/notch on the timing case

Eh...you may not be able to adjust that duralast clutch properly. For future reference, an exedy B series oe replacement is like $120 on rockauto or ebay.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the clutch is bad. I've never had good luck with over the counter store brand clutches. Like stated above stick with Exedy and either have your flywheel resurfaced or replace it.
