Default Clutch vibration

Hi, i have a 1991 accord ex. when i bought the car the clutch was sliping, got it replaced and flywheel resurfaced, there are about 5000 miles on it now and i am 17 years old and it is my 1st manual car so yeah i did dumped it a couple times, knowing its not good but its hard to resist, whenever i have the clutch in and rev it way up i feel a vibration in the clutch, what could this be, something warped?? also if i try and take off really slow, the car shudders really bad. is this shuddering or this vibration causing any harm? thanks.

Sounds like you've unevenly scorched the surface of the clutch/flywheel before it was broken in. Time for a new clutch. Again...

So maybe even during that first 500 miles you were slipping it too hard or too often or ???
