Clutch Chatter in 1st - Help

When taking off slowly in 1st I get some clutch chatter (mild shaking) only under lower RPM's. Nothing when I rev it higher to take off. What can I do to correct this issue? My '07 GT/CS has 78k and is a daily driver been to the track only 1 time so it is not beat on. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated prior to bringing it to the dealer.
Thanks

I believe the disk can get glazed due to driving habits and this can causes it to chatter , assuming of course the clutch just isn't shot. I think there are some threads on here about it so do a search , but if I remember correctly you run it hard for a while and it will burn the glaze off ...

78k is pretty good for a stock clutch. Flywheel develops hot spots on it in time. Probably about time for a clutch replacement and a flywheel resurfacing.

Yup, prolly just normal wear at 78k unless youre better than I with the clutch. Not necessarily the disk either but might want to change the disk anyway if it has to be pulled to inspect/fix.
