Could be clutch internals, but I doubt it. More likely a failing motor mount or air in the clutch hydraulics. Check the mount at the front of the transmission for tears or collapse of the rubber and bleed the clutch at the slave cylinder. I've also noticed that if my engine tuning is not spot-on, a little stumble when releasing the clutch will sometimes initiate the clutch chatter. Good Luck.
