Default clutch chatter

guys i put a act hdss clutch in my b16 once my other one went. i broke it in for bout 500 miles. i love the clutch but i have just now started to feel it chatter. when i release the clutch and when i am just driving normal it chatters, but it doenst do it when doing some high rpm shiffting. by chattering i mean vibrating when releasing or when im slipping the clutch. i know what chattering is, i just cant explain worth a ****. but anyway i recently put a set a hasport mounts in the car along with a set of full race traction bars, new axle and replaced some bushings. i have read that a glazed flywheel will also cause this. when we did the clutch we took the flywheel off and cleaned it because the flywheel is oem but in very good condition, but thats probaly what it is. is this normal for this clutch? any other ideas bout the chatter? or am i just up for some problems? and what will happend if i do nothing about it? thanx guys for all my dumbass questions, i am just paranoid and currently broke .

does your idle drop at all when you step on the clutch? is the clutch sprung or unsprung?

Chances are it's the flywheel. I had the same problem when I replaced the clutch in another car - I only had the fw resurfaced - I should've just bought a new one. It will eventually go away, it'll just take a long *** time to do so.

pebblepusher, i read somewhere in a thread that clutch chatter could be the result of a bad throwout bearing/input shaft bearing. i might be way off here. haha i'm too lazy to search. just giving you my two cents

Did you put a new flywheel or have it resurfaced?
