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?
I can confirm that on my car if I push the clutch in fast there is indeed drivetrain chatter. This is inherent for our car and nothing to worry about. The Z's are known to have that cement mixer sound. If you look on the net you'll find a lot of threads regarding it. Hope that helps put you at ease.
