You are supposed to bleed the clutch after you change it. Use DOT 3 brake fluid

Yes, it probably will, and the chatter could just be because it is brand new. Just go easy on it for a while and it will go away.

You could be getting chatter because its not broke in yet. Once its broke in that usually goes away.

Some cars i do need to be bleed others dont.

you dont need to bleed it unless you opened up the lines.

its like bleeding the brakes when you only change the pads, you dont need to unless you opened up the caliper lines.

and yes you need to break in the clutch, also what type of clutch did you get, if you get a harsh clutch the chatter might be normal

Thats correct....

I would put a 1000 miles on it before you start racing around shift light and dont drop the clutch.. This will make your clutch last alot longer..
