I think "throw out bearing"... but I am no clutch expert...

  A recent thread about a chattering maybe oiled up clutch?....Mine
did THAT when the output (or is it input) shaft oil seal became leaky
because I didn't install a pilot bearing on my newer block when I
changed....   It was pretty easy to fix but I did have to drop the
transmission to get to it.
