Default Car stutters in 1st from a stop?

I'm not very good yet with the manual, I've only really driven small trucks with one. The car stutters and tries to stall from a stop, I've tried raising the RPM and slowly letting the clutch out(newbie start) and the car still stutters and chatters until it starts rolling a few mph. The car runs great after it starts rolling and has no problems in 2nd-6th gear. I know this probably has some maybe even all to do with my poor driving, but was wondering if my clutch/flywheel might need to be replaced.

Thanks,
James

Bump for more help....

Further description...

In order to keep it from chattering/stuttering and stalling, I must feather the clutch very very slowly the last little bit coming up, without giving gas, once it starts rolling about 2mph its fine. Any gas/not feathering - stutter/chatter/stall.

I'm ready to order the LS7 Clutchkit, but I need to know if there is anything else wrong and I dont want to replace parts I don't need without replacing the problem, will the clutch kit fix it? I need the clutch kit + pilot bearing + slave cylinder correct?

Thanks guys.
