Default clutch chatter got louder!

Okay so im most likely gonna get flamed for this but whatever. It was raining last night and i decided to have some fun in the Z. The roads were wet so did a really small brakestand just to see how it feels in the Z. It literarly only lasted 3 seconds TOPS then i stopped. The pavement was wet so my tires didnt even screech. Then after that my clutch was chattering way louder then usual for a while. By the time i got home the chattering was back to its regular volume. Did i damage anything? the car still drives fine.

My clutch does the same noise. Sound like something is lose in there.. When it's cold you can really hear it but when it's hot outside you can't hear it.. What's the deal?

Probably just got hot. Its actually a combination of the gears and synchros in the transmission rattling because the flywheel isn't completely dampening them. The extra heat generated by doing a burnout probably made the transmission fluid a little thinner and thus, you had a little more chatter.

Mine is loud as ***....try having a ltw flywheel.
