Unhappy clutch chattering

i just put in a prothane tranny mount after i had ripped the stock rubber one in half. i also put in a torque arm bushing while i was in there. after i did this and drove it around i noticed that my clutch was making alot more noise when it is engaged. is this normal when you stiffen up this area? or have i damaged something in the clutch when it was loose. the clutch is a ram. i think it was the HDX, not positive. any ideas?

The noise could have just been covered up before. Does it make the noise when the pedal is pushed in?

Very possible it is a bad pilot bearing.

Depending on your clutch, it could just be a little chatter. Mine does the same thing on take off under low throttle. Never happened when it was stock, but started after a new tranny/textralia z clutch was installed.
