This could also have been clutch chatter from oil being left on the pressure plate or flywheel during installation. I have also seen cases where someone lubes up the transmission input shaft a little too much and flings grease onto the clutch.

The oil on the contact surfaces causes slip/grip and hot spots and can lead to chatter.
