Clutch chatter or nah?

[kt45]

Ive been getting this weird clanking noise when i start from first. Sounds god awful and the engine crickets dont help at all. Especially at a drive thru. I noticed that it goes away if i take off at a higher rpm like 4k but if take off at like 2 or 3k it will make this noise but otherwise it drives fine.

Normal or should i be worried? Had to change my clutch after the Throw out bearing literally blew up after 40k. Put in a Exedy stage 1 for 4000 miles. Im hoping its not a loose bolt. I didnt loctite anything. Flywheel was resurfaced. Torqued them down to factory specs but who knows if my wrench was off. Any suggestions? Never experienced clutch chatter before. My pos civic 5spd sounds way better. Ive been looking on the forums but i didnt find a definitive answer.

Post up a clip so we can listen to it. Embrace the crickets. They are the sound of awesomeness.

Clutch chatter is not "normal", at least for my FR-S.

Should you be worried .. ?? Not really, but don't be surprised if something in there flies apart in the near future.
