Clutch stuttering when going into 1st

I have noticed that my car has started to stutter somewhat when engaging first gear. It generally seems to happen on cooler days, and goes away after the car is warmed up a bit?

It almost feels like I'm going over the speed bumps on the side of the highway, or trying to start the car off in 4th gear.

All other shifting is fine, any ideas?

It just started happening in the last few weeks, and it's pretty rough when it does happen. It has to look like I don't know how to shift.

could be because the flywheel is heat-cracked. If you replace a clutch and use a heat-cracked flywheel it'll still do it.
