very loud clutch chatter when in first gear and i depress the clutch...

Sounds like you're waiting too long to depress the clutch... TRy depressing and slipping it a bit when you're at very slow speeds..

???...You don't slip it, you disengage it....your description sounds more like driver error than anything wrong with the car...First manual trans?

i guess i am confused on your suggestion in the earlier post...

the noise happens when i am slowly rolling into my garage in first gear and when i push in the clutch as i am coming inside, the chatter/banging noise happens right then. so slipping the clutch at that time didn't make sense to me...

it's not driver error dude. i have to push in the clutch before i stop or the car will stall. i have owned over 10 manual transmission vehicles. most recently a '02 z06 vette and before that a '03 cobra. not to mention the manual jeeps i have had as off road toys where slow speed/crawling clutch action is required. trust me, it's not driver error...

Dude! What car wouldn't stall if the clutch was out, in gear and the car was stopped? Not driver error, then maybe driver ignorance, I dunno.

Jake man dont worry, I have the same chatter if I slam the clutch just like Antennahead suggested earlier. But if you dissengage the clutch slowly and in control, you'll be fine. You have to ease it in like a gentleman. You cant just ram it home.
