Hey guys soooo let me try keeping this short:
19 Si FBo e35 Custome e tune from drob on an act street clutch that I’ve had for 15kish miles total mileage is 34k.

Went on a canyon cruise and did a little rip from 1st gear (3400-6000) until 4th gear. It was all the way in but didn’t give power to the wheels only rpm was going up. Fast forward I stop and put it in first usually the bite point Is 1.5k and it’s a smooth ride but this time at 1.5k it started shaking (best way to describe it is almost like a dig pull and your tires are trying to get traction or you’re about to stall) Once rolling shifts are fine.It’s also fine when I’m rolling slow (5-9mph) and I put it in first no shaking. I’m thinking it’s most likely my clutch or a warped clutch disk. Rmm is still in tact so I took that out of the picture. Video attached.
Thanks in advance to who ever helps. Much appreciated

Do you notice any smell from the car after using it? Typically a cooked clutch will give off a burning smell and you'll notice the bite point is higher on the pedal. I'm not familiar with the Si line as we don't have it here but a knackered dual mass flywheel is another possible cause of the noise in the video (If you have one in that car). A broken engine mount, particularly the front/rear mounts can also cause a similar symptom.

Does it feel like its slipping/juddering under engine braking too?

Thanks for replying. I don’t notice a smell but the bite point it a little higher. It forsure feels like it’s struggling to grip. I’ll have to check my front mount since I only checked rear. Thanks again

I don't see how the bite point was at a specific rpm. It should bite at any rpm including idle.
