My '88 GL clutch chatters too...intermittently,  I am convinced that I willl
find the source in the forward motor (tranny?) mount.  When the clutch
chatter began appearing so did alot of driveline lash or a feeling of
"rubber banding" after a sudden accel or decel.  I can actually feel the
worn rubber mount pounding against the body during a sudden speed change.
Both of us may have less than perfect clutches, but I'll  bet that the
imperfections will dissappear with solid motor mounts.  I'll let you know.
