I can't comment on what could be the issue but in regards to using a dealership for replacement versus a shop I wanted to give you an issue I went through.

When I had that NSX a few years ago I had a shudder on the clutch at take off first gear as well and had the dealership replace the clutch which I paid for. The replacement clutch was if I recall a little better but had a shudder at take off as well ... the best part of having an Acura dealer do the work is there was a warranty and they ended up replacing the clutch again without any argument or questions. They also did multiple adjustments to it when I wasn't satisfied with the feel. Another benefit is they supplied a loaner car each time I took it in.

I don't know if a regular shop would have done this or not but I do know the dealerships never minds doing warranty work if there is an issue with their work being they get paid by the manufacturer.
