More likely a wheel bearing or drive shaft issue

It is a fairly easy job for any person to tackle providing they can handle tools, (some people can't turn a screwdriver), First you have to get the car up in the air with room to move under there, put it on jack stands if you can, but definitely on something so that when it comes down it doesn't squish your legs or your head. Pull the transmission, This will probably include the cross members and exhaust mounts, linkage, tranny mounts, drive shaft, could be a bunch of stuff in the way, once it is on the floor, you can remove the pressure plate off the back of the engine, pull off the clutch plate, note the condition of the flywheel, if it looks like dried mud, it needs to be surfaced. A burned flywheel will cause chatter, get the new clutch plate on there, first make sure it fits the tranny, real important, better to check now than when you are wrestling the tranny back in and it doesn't go because it is the wrong clutch spline, line up the clutch with the pinion bearing, it should slide right in nicely. Get the throw out bearing set before it goes back in, bolt it back together, you should be burning rubber and pulling wheelies again in no time. You might have to adjust the clutch slave cylinder pin if it has one, get more throw out of it. Or less. You might find some videos on youtube just for your car, but they are basically all the same.

find the options sticker in the vehicl.door frame,glove box good starting places.

After clutch is mounted & aligned to flywheel, bearing goes over input shaft of transmission before slid through the clutch assy, to flywheel. Don't forget bearing attaches to release fork.

Is your seat belt fastened...if not...there ya go
