Sounds like your release or pilot bearing needs changing

Is it a new clutch...with many performance clutches they chatter a lot. Its pretty normal. If your clutch is not new and you are only now getting this noise, as said it may be your release bearing.

release bearing or your flywheel bolts could have came loose

is a six puck spring loaded clutch and the noise started when the clutch was broken in so is it the clutch or the bearing
