Default Bucking Clutch on takeoff

My Jeep has been bucking or chattering when taking off in first for a while but only for the first few takeoffs in the morning. I figured when the clutch was warmed up it acted normal. Now it’s doing it all the time. It feels like it’s going to tear up my trans mount. I’ve never experienced a clutch going out in this way. They usually just start slipping. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is a clutch and flywheel the solution? Is there anything else it could be?

Could be a number of things from oil contaminating the clutch assembly to broken components.

It sound like you have a small oil leak that is getting on the clutch .
