Default dont bash me for this question

this is a real dumb question and please dont bash me for this

i got a 98 t/a with a spec stage 1 clutch. the thing sometimes chatters like a **** sometimes and its real annoying. the reason i think it chatters like that is because i drive my car like a shitbox saturn/honda/whatever; im real easy on the gas and bring the clutch up rather slowly i guess. being that i got a spec stage 1, do i have to give it more gas and be quick on releasing the clutch/slipping it a lot less. i usually give it 1200rpms, but when i go 1400-1500 i get almost no chatter.

am i supposed to release the clutch quick and slip it a lot less with an aftermarket clutch. i know releasing it at 1500rpms gives me no chtter, but wont it wear my clutch out quicker?

Ya it will wear it out quicker slipping it @ a higher RPM.
Get another clutch IMO if you dont want chatter.

well being that its almost an on/off clutch, how are your supposed to get moving in first gear with out slipping the clutch too much?

im a newb with em but my spec 3+ only gives me problems when the wheels are turned...but if i play with the throttle/clutch pedal relationship i can avoid chatter. like more rpms and a slower pedal lift seemed to remedy the problem for me.
