I'll bet yours are tired.
But since yours is temperature related, it probably is in the pressure plate, disc, or flywheel.
Which one? Who cares? The tranny has to come out.
If you can live with it, live with it.
+1 There are several reasons for clutch chatter, years ago I remember reading in an OM that it was considered normal in some instances due to gearing for better mpgs. Who knows?
As clutches age they can become glazed and chatter. I had a similar issue with a work van. I held one foot on the brake and released the clutch at idle to stall the engine. I did it twice IIRC and the problem stopped. I guess I broke the glaze. You won't hurt anything trying it. As long as it is not slipping or grinding going into gear and all the mounts are good you might have to live with it. JMO
