I've read a few posts about this in this newsgroup, just want to
expand on that a little.  I had my clutch replaced this week.  It was
in horrible shape, the disc was almost down to the rivets, and
flywheel badly burned.  Mechanic said, though, that it was all in
alignment, pilot bushing was in good shape, no oil was leaking on
anything, etc.  Just bad driving, apparently.

I think between the three people that drive the car (including a 16
year old), we need to go back to "how to drive a stick" school.
Otherwise, I'm going to be back for a new clutch every 30K.  Maybe I
can get a frequent-clutch-buyer discount.

Anyway, all has been fixed now, except I am still getting clutch
chatter when starting out in first gear.  I'm hoping it is engine
mounts (would hate to have to remove tranny again), but, are there any
other potential explanations, given what I have stated above?  Car
shifts smoothly in all other gears, no slipping, etc.  It's the
take-off that drives me nuts with the chatter.  I can start off very
slowly and sometimes avoid it, but normally it is there.  If it is
likely engine mounts, what is approximate cost for parts/labor to
repair?

Thanks!
