Reported clutch chatter incidents?

Has ANYONE ever reported a clutch chatter problem to their dealer?

I know this has been mentioned before, but I have to ask. After visiting my dealer about 4 times for the same problems, including this one, I was told there is no incident of a clutch chatter problem ever reported.

Do you experiencing the problem yourself or are you just recalling previous posts about the incidents?

When my 2.0LX is cold I get clutch chatter . But only once first thing in the morning . My 92 did the same thing even with an after market clutch .

I think they all chatter whrn cold, mine does it to. If I keep the clutch in more and let it out slowly and then give just the right amount of gas, it seems to stop the chatter

I'll have to check the service records for the mileage I reported on, but I think it was about a month after I bought the car last August.

It can be both. The violent chatter usually happens in the morning when I come to a stop sign in the middle of a hill. Accelerating from here almost always results in the front end jumping about 7-9? times... Bad enough to make me lose my grip on the wheel.
