Did you make sure everything was tightened correctly and evenly?  Any possibility of grease or oil getting on the disk or pressure plate? Make sure your transmission and engine mounts are tight and in good shape. And be sure the clutch linkage is not bent or out of alignment. And did  you replace the throwout bearing?

tightened everything correct and even 

no oil or grease

will look over mounts

what is clutch linkage

replaced throw-out bearing

thinking of doing it over again to check my work

[plymouthcranbrook]

Clutch linkage is the connection from the floor pedal to the clutch fork.  Make sure it is connected all through and moves easily and smoothly.  Manual should show it.

Here's a blow up of the clutch linkage from the Parts Manual.  

[chris 48 P15]

the linkages are loose 

i will look to see if i can adjust or tighten

Are your universal joints in good condition?

[chris 48 P15]

the universal joints are the ball and trunnion type 

seemed to turn freely no binding or play

i have read the stories with these type of u joints so i dont ant to take it apart yet

one problem at a time

i think it may be the linkages or a mistake on the assembly

[chris 48 P15]

ordered the clutch shaft pivot bearing will replace and see if solves problem

I had a turned flywheel warp on me once it took me forever to figure that out. put a run out gauge on clutch surface and was 40 thousands out of wack grabbed like mad

Worn out bushings on the rear leaf spring shackles can and will cause a car to "chatter" upon clutch engagement as well.

update

took the clutch apart again

found errors on my part i didn't tighten pressure plate properly 

changed the engine mounts

will also change the clutch torque shaft bearings

waiting for helper to button up for test drive

Replacing the motor mounts can cause the shift linkage to bind or not work.  If you are having trouble with shifting on your maiden voyage check the shift rod adjustments.
