Default Terrible acceleration in 2nd gear, Help?

I have a '93 Civic DX. I recently put a new clutch, pressure plate, etc. on it. The whole kit. The problem I have was happening before and is happening after having a new clutch. All of the gears are smooth and acceleration is good except for second gear. When I shift into second, the car instantly loses most power. It begins to shake back and forth (not violently, but kind of like a bounce back, i would compare it to being in low gear and tapping the gas and letting off) like it is running out of gas (you know the feeling) but the tank is full. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
