Clutch chatter went from normal to holy S*%$, NEED HELP!

Ive always had clutch chatter, which is normal. But a few days ago it got way worse. I feel it in the pedal now and its sounds like a clunking and knocking now more than chatter. Is it just my throwout bearing? or do i need to change out my whole clutch and flywheel too? and is it worth just changing the throwout bearing, i dont know how much work it is. PLEASE HELP! thanks in advance guys.

Could be the dual-mass flywheel going out. Those things don't (unfortunately) last forever.

I don't know what combo its running right now. Its been in since I bought the G, but i was told its a stage two, the guy didnt even know, he had a shop install it. But I believe my throwout bearing went out, my transmission stopped going into any gears and wen I tried to pull off 1st my tranny felt like it was gonna fall off.

I hope its not my flywheel, its the only replacement part I didnt't buy. Hope i just need to resurface mine.

Update: so I finally got around to dropping my transmission, turns out one of my flywheel bolts fell out and some others were loose and comin out! The idiot who installed it never used lok-tite and didn't use the rite torque values. Well I took plenty of pics so gonna try to make an updated DIY on changing the clutch/flywheel
