Angry clutch chatter?

Hey, just wondering if anybody else experienced what I think is called "clutch chatter". To define: mostly in first gear, when letting out the clutch the car bucks, not a smooth transition at all. mainly when the air conditioner (yes, I am a puss, just too hot to eliminate), and after the car has been running awhile.

I installed a Racing Beat light steel flywheel, new LUK clutch set, and redline in the tranny, and new slave cylinder as the old one leaked.

Maybe the light weight flywheel, Not sure, Anybody else encounter this? Thanks.

Ya that soudns like clutch chatter. i dont realy know why it would do it more with AC though. Whats happening is the disk in the clutch isnt "slipping" and then smothly grabbing. When it "chatter" it almost kind of hangs up a little bit. Usualy people will tell you that its from contamination, such as oil etc. from the rear shaft seal or a trans seal. however if you feel its not contamination, then mabe its just breaking in a little bit. i say just keep driving it. your not going to ruin anything worse by driving it more. let me know though if it keeps persisting.
