LB9 vibrating when releasing clutch slowly. WHY?
Every third gen that I have owed with a manual tranny (3 of them) have developed a vibration when I would release the clutch on the first gear ONLY. Most of the time it happens when the car gets warm and it vibrates more when starting driving up the hill.
Does anybody else has these problems?
PS. I keep my foot OFF the clutch when stopped at the red light.
Any ideas?

Happened to me too. Resurfacing the flywheel was the answer for me.

Resurface the flywheel and drop in a new clutch. Also, if the problem get worse as the car warms up, you could be getting an oil leak the dripping into your clutch assembly causing the 'chatter'.
