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

These cars are known for this, the 350 as well. I can make my clutch make that loud chatter "if" I slam it to the floor too fast. You learn

Mine never chatters, "but", I can make it do it everytime "if" I don't work it properly. Same thing Mod said, "You don't slip it, you disengage it"

My car makes no such noise.
Maybe you'll figure it out.....Others apparently have. Good luck !

I have found that I get a banging noise if I am in first and fully let off the gas and coast a couple seconds, then disengage the clutch, but if instead as soon as I get off the gas I disengage the clutch, it typically doesnt make the noise.
