Clutch chatter....
Anyone else noticing this during acceleration at lower RPMs?

I never really had an "annoying" sound.... I always just chalked it up to "RPMs too low for that gear".
It's entirely possible we are talking about 2 totally different things.
I guess it could have been classified as a "chatter" tough to say .... our versions of chatter could differ.

Are you talking about something you can feel in the clutch pedal when you are starting off with very little gas and just a slow release of the clutch?
There are several threads on the forum regarding that. I had the flywheel, clutch and throwout bearing replaced at 1000 miles and no problems after that (14 Z51).
Others have had excessive crankshaft end-play.

no, say if you're puttering along in 4th at about 1300 rpm, floor it without down shifting and you'll hear a noise that I believe to be clutch chatter....it's only there at low rpm's when the throttle is floored until the engine gains rpms and as someone mentioned starting off in first non aggressively.
I have no clutch chatter in mine but have inadvertently lugged the engine and felt something similar to what you are describing. Just keep the rpm's up.
