Default Clutch question

I've seen several posts on clutch problems lately, but none on the problem I'm having. Just easing out the clutch at slow speed cause it to jerk, may be called chatter (not sure). Its a C6, about 2500 miles now. The problem started about 1,000 miles or so. Is this something that will will straighten out in time or just get worse? Curious if anybody else has had this problem and what they did to correct it. Would appreciate you comments.

That doesn't sound right! My clutch was touchy and a little jerky until 500 miles, and is nice and smooth at 2500.

Something's wrong. As Hoonose pointed out, the initial grabbiness of the clutch quickly goes away as the clutch breaks in. At 2500 miles, the clutch should be fairly smooth. It's not as smooth as some clutches I've used, but it certainly shouldn't feel like it's chattering. This might be a good time to schedule an appointment with your dealer to check it out.
