Clutch Chattering.

Hello everyone. I had my clutch replaced and flywheel resurfaced at the dealer for this problem at 36K around two years ago. The clutch was fine for a while, then it started chattering shifting into first and second (not so much the higher gears) and got progressivly worse. In reading posts on this problem, some said that this was normal for the car..so I decided to live with it. The chattering got worse and worse and recently it has gotton so bad, that the wheels will sometimes hop. It doesn't do this all the time. Now, in heavy traffic, not only does it chatter, but there's a moaning sound also.
The chattering happens mostly when it's cold and damp. I've checked the engine mounts and transaxle fluid, both are fine.
Since it doesn't happen all the time, is this something that I have to live with? I know that other people have this problem. I am thinking of installing an ACT Clutch. Do I opt for a stock clutch and risk having it chatter again? For such a top of the line vehicle, this chattering really makes it sound bad. thanks for any help..
