Default Clutch chatter unbearable!!

The Ti is my absolutely favorite car of all time, but its about to go. I replaced the clutch last month on account of a smashed plastic pivot & moderate clutch chatter. Always went away after a few miles. Now, with the new clutch, the chatter won't go away. When pulling from a dead stop, it goes bam, bam, bam. Much worse than before. The old dual mass flywheel actually dampened a lot of it.

Any ideas???

I took a suggestion from the Miata folks & adjusted my driving habits. Revving the motor to 2000 rpm before releasing the clutch seems to quiet it down a bit. The chatter completely disappears. Don't know how long the motor mounts will last, however.

Changing to the non-dual mass clutch certainly quickened the engine. It redlines very fast compared to before. After changing the clutch, you can't drive it in the same matter as before.
