you idiot! you freak ME out! all clutches are like that if you're in gear and the rpm drops too low the car shakes and if you keep holding the brake it will die out. damn dude, if you hate that clutch so much let's trade!

oh yea when you need to slow down you can either shift to neutral and brake or let it slow down in gear and when you feel it get too slow or maybe around 1500 rpm just shift to neutral then brake, then the car wont rattle. basically put it in neutral when you want to stop, hope that helps!

Does the car shake when you don't have it in gear when you stop the car?
If not, at what RPM does it start shaking at when you are decelerating?
If the Check Engine Light on?
What codes is it giving you?
The code for GSR ECU's is P72. They come in OBD1 and OBD2 so make sure you get the right OBD if you buy one.
OBD-1 is usually priced around $200 and hard to find.
OBD-2 is much cheaper and realitivly easy to find.

^^OHHH well that just means you gotta get used to the clutch. i thought you didnt know how to driver stick lol. and if it shakes that means you need to release clutch slower...it actually depends on where the release point is i think it is lower than stock clutches..
