[Chrysler300] clutch operation

[david dumais <dvd_dumais@xxxxxxxxx>]

Guys, I have adjusted the K clutch pedal per the manual.  Free play and the play at end of clutch fork is per the data. The clutch is a diaphragm type , about 7 yrs old.
 
There is a bit of resistance when the pedal is released, and the engine will drop a few initial rpm's.  The gas pedal is feathered to make a smother transition into first gear.
 
It seems like a slight shudder and slight vibration prior to normal takeoff.  All shifting in forward and reverse are OK.   Could this be the pressure plate mis-behaving?
 
If I try to bark the tires on level ground, the faint odor of disc/rotten eggs will arise.
So, therefore no hole shots.  The car does dig in with out any noticeable slippage.
 
Should the clutch be a smooth release with out any issues for a 2 ton vehicle?
 
                thanks, 300K-ly Dave
