Default Clutch chatter

When I release my clutch when my car is warmed up and not cold. It feels like chatter since my car vibrates alot, only does it when im letting out my clutch in 1st. I got a new clutch and flywheel this summer but was a little noobie about cars and didn't know I had to do a 300 mile break in period. Do I need to buy a new clutch kit and flywheel to fix this?

99 civic siR is my car( I live in canada

have you broken in the clutch? if not, try breaking it in a little more. Puck clutches chatter in 1st and reverse even when the clutch is already broken in

what clutch did you buy... i had a stage 1 or 2 in my civic when i baught it it chattered like a biotch taking off in first unless i left the stoplight at like 2k rpm pedal was stiff as hell to. i replaced it with a exedy OEM clutch and it had a little tiny bit of chatter for like 200 miles but now its amazing.

It was just a clutch kit from ebay that came with a flywheel to. i think it was like 300-400 bucks altogether. Some no name oem one im pretty sure.

I have to get the rpm up to 2500-3k rpm sometimes so it doesnt chatter. I think its a warped flywheel or whatever. I should get a stage 2 clutch kit and new flywheel this summer

if it constantly chatters no mater way either you have a broken disk or a warped flywheel or an overly aggressiv clutch (ebay kit doubt its this option)

also if you looking at a stage 2 unless your boosted its completely useless y put a clutch that holds 200+ft lbs when your civic even with bolt ons only makes like 80. your going to get the same chatter issues with that one even if its name brand.

K ill just get a stage 1 then . And ya when i get a new clutch and stuff ill actually do a break in period. Also, my car squeaks while it idles, but the timing belt was changed like 20-30k ago so i dont think its the timing belt. But when its warmer out it doesnt squeak. I live in sask,canada. so its like still winter and around -15 celcius. Any suggestions on whats wrong
