Explain clutch chatter to me if you don’t mind. The more i think about it, seems like it happens when the clutch is engaged. There’s definitely some friction somewhere when it happens but it’s so quick it’s tough to tell exactly where it is but you can feel it in the left floorboard

If it's still under warranty & you trust your dealer's wrenches take it there and have it checked out along with what ever else needs done.
If not take it to an "indy" mechanic whom you trust. Many "indy's" will do warranty work if they're set up for it.
Never the less if you don't think it's right take it in.
Just make sure it can replicate what ever noise or malfunction it exhibited on your initial observation of it.

It can be any number if things, worn plates or discs,it can cause vibrations. I would start with the cable adjustment.
Doing it yourself look for a manual

Like I said, which evidently caught the ire of some who could not see the post for its worth, saw it such to hack on me...whatever. If it gets too far out, the mods will see to it it’s squashed.
It’s not that “I can’t help it” as was derogatorily posted towards me, my position is if it helps one of our readers to check it out who hasn’t heard of this curriculum and doesn’t believe me, to educate themselves, then it’s worth the time and bs you guys might want to pitch back at me.
