Default why won't my car take off smoothly?

For some reason when Im trying to take off the car shakes, revs up, barks the tires, you name it! Ive drivin stick for 3 years so I know its not my driving. Also my car won't accelerate slowly, I can't ease off the gas pedal or else it slows down, as if I let off the gas all together. Please someone help me!!!!!

I had the same problem. Maybe you have a vacuum leak somewhere?

There are all sorts and sizes of brownish/black tubes that should be clamped up somewhere properly.

Also, how old is your clutch?

Did you break in your clutch properly? Sounds like clutch chatter.
