What happens if you start from a stop in 2nd? I would look at a bad clutch disk first.

I haven't tried that. Someone was telling me it might be fluid/oil that got onto the clutch disk. What would be wrong with the clutch disk?

If it did, it'd probably slip as well. Check your three tranny mounts and your engine mount.

Nope, I was the one that told him that. When oil or similar gets onto a clutch disc, that specific spot actually tends to grab harder then the rest of the disc, which results in chatter. Depending on disc material of course..
