I think this is a very telling statement. It says to me that the problem is with engine mounts and "steady rods" (that's what we called them back then), rather than the clutch itself. I built a '36 coupe in the early '60's and left them out, because, well, basically, I was lazy. The clutch chattered like crazy in first gear, but was fine in reverse. After much farting around, I re-installed the rods and it solved the problem.
