Do you have the proper amount of "free play" before the clutch disengages?

I think the recommendation is about 1" of pedal push before you detect any discernible amount of clutch slippage. If it is less than this, you might be into that "slip area" which actually will shorten the life of your clutch.

And could explain the chatter.
