ok this may sound like a stupid question, but when i shift hard from 1st to 2nd sometimes it chirps the tires, which is normal i know. Sometime when i do that, it feels like the tires are "chattering", but makes no noise and sometimes it does that when i shift hard into 3rd. now what i was wondering is if infact it is chattering the tires, or if it is the clutch chattering. Also i have 35,000miles on my car, and it isnt drive hard to often. thanks alot.

could be your tire/wheel hopping

You honestly shouldnt have any sound going into 3rd. When I shift hard the only time I hear anything is from 1 to 2 and if you shift hard enough there you will barely hear the tires chirp. Our cars arent going to chirp 3rd, so like I said, you shouldnt hear anything going into 3rd.

if it's wheel hoping even going to 3rd, you just might have alot of tire wear.. cuz yea, it wont happen with tires with little wear on them.

i know that our cars cant chirp tires going into third, and there isnt alot of tire wear...and as far as i know im not grinding third(i have done that before, but not this time). what im afraid is that its the clutch chattering....thanks for all the help guys

I get chattering a bunch when im trying to acclerate well in a turn on a bad road. If im trying to shift its particularly bad. Basically I just trying and not drive hard on the turns where the road is bad (too bad there are a alot). But, if im trying to shift during this I notice the clutch really doesnt like the transition in the bumps. I guess one thing that might matter is do you still have stock wheels or those peice of crap stock tires. The original tires are junk you might be getting a lot of slipping and then hop because of that. But other than that, the clutch really shouldnt be doing anything if you let go completely. So i would suggest make sure you are letting go completely and as quick as you can. The transmission in these cars are really good I know I can get super quick shifts off by not putting the clutch in completely and letting it out right as it goes into 2nd, and I get no gear grinding or any kind of chatter so long as it is a good road.
