Im a 5AT so they forgot to give me 6th Gear

Damn Infiniti and their lack of proper gearing

Pressing the clutch peddle and "Engaging" the clutch are two different things.
"Pressing" the clutch peddle while not in gear will stop the rattling sound of the throwout bearing, what the OP is concerned with (bold for easier reading). Engaging the clutch while trying to accelerate is when you will experience "clutch chatter". Something completely different.
I did read the title! Did you?

Start with the links I provided, then search more. What you describe is the throwout bearing.
