New Clutch Question (break-in?)

Before I go back to the stealership wanted to ask other owners if they had a break-in experience or noise with a new clutch.

The dealership replaced my clutch and pedal assembly under warranty for the throw out bearing noise mentioned in this forum commonly.

Now In 1st gear and sometimes 2nd it makes a noise like a pinball machine flipper firing rapidly when I let the clutch out slow while accelerating. 1st gear, let out the clutch slowly, give it gas, and the noise comes from around the gear shift linkage (or below it? transmission?) not from the clutch area to my knowledge. Other gears besides 1st and 2nd operate fine.

Is this clutch chatter and I need to continue breaking in the new OEM clutch? Or perhaps the repair is incomplete or some bolts aren't torqued to spec and causing a noise?
