Warped clutch plates?

What does this mean? What are it's symptoms?

Whenever I barely begin to engage the clutch from a stop to slowly begin moving, I get a chatter/pulsating vibration feeling from the drivetrain and I'm just wondering if something needs replaced.

It's annoying and not smooth, but I don't know if it's normal.

Ideas?

Mine does the same thing. My dealer told me it's normal.

Thanks!

I thought I had done one to many clutch drop burnouts showing off.

It's kind of annoying though, when you just barely want to move forward and the whole car trembles/shakes. I just figured I had broken off a couple "fingers" on the clutch plate or whatever and until it fully grabbed it was just slipping/grabbing.

Have you tried Redline MT-90? If so, any difference? I bought some, but I haven't put it in yet, since I was planning on seeing if the dealer would look at my clutch first.
