Default wheel hop

earlier today at the light when it turned green, i rolled off normal and then floored it, shifted to 2nd gear and i got wheel hop i think, like my dash was shaking for a split second, like in the sametime that would be if you chirped your tires shifting to 2nd. wheel hop is bad right? could i break something if i do it alot? this is the first time i really tested out my new act clutch btw. before on the stock clutch i would never get wheel hop, so is there any kinda of technique when i take off in first and/or shift into 2nd that i wont get wheel hop?

starting out... i think ur releasing the clutch too much too soon... try lowering the tires pressure in your tires a bit.. maybe motor mounts??

Wheel hop sucks. That would happen to me sometimes. It just depended on the surface I was on...
