As per Haynes Manual:
Troubleshooting: section 29:
Grabbing(chattering) as clutch is engaged:
1. Oil on clutch plate
2. Worn or loose engine or transaxle mounts. These units move slightly when the clutch is released. Inspect mounts and bolts.
3. Worn splines on clutch plate hub.
4. Warped pressure plate or fly wheel.
OR
Troubleshooting: section 33:
Noisy in all gears:
1. Input shaft bearing worn.
2. Damaged main drive gear bearing.
3. Worn countershaft bearings.
4. Worn/Damaged countershaft endplay shims.
5. Insufficient lubrication
I would recommend checking your mounts, as they are fairly easy to look at, and replace. Also check your brake fluid (shares same resevoir), and see if you need new fluid or to bleed the clutch.
As one last note: I HIGHLY recommend purchaing a Haynes Manual for the contiques. (manual #36006) Can be had for around $13.00 or less at Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc..
