You're overthinking a lot of this. Just get some time behind a manual and everything will fall into place...

I know I know, I even said in my post that I know I'm overthinking all of this, but that's my process and how I learn stuff so it helps me to get the details.

Yes, the word "chatter" is best to describe what I was hearing with the window down when I disengaged the clutch, and I remember I was pushing it in rather fast, so that must be it. For some reason I thought pushing it in slower would be harder on the clutch but maybe that is backwards thinking?
