(By the way, I'm not just letting the clutch out and allowing the engine to shake...This happens even when I rev to about 1200 and slowly let the clutch out while maintaining revs)

After re-reading the thread, maybe my issue is different from OP's. When im releasing the clutch (when car is warm), it feels the the engagement is skipping for a lack of a better word. This skipping is the 'thud-thud-thud' im talking about. When i first drive the car in the morning, i can release the clutch while giving it very little rpms (~800rpms) and it just goes. Smooth engagement. Only when driving for a while does it start chattering. If you've ever driven a subaru, its a common thing on cold starts. But again, mine does it when its warm.
Wanted to add: Basically its the same sound/sensation as when releasing the clutch with no gas and the engine/car starts shaking. But in my case, im giving it gas and the sound/sensation is somewhat amplified. The slower i release the clutch, the more it thuds as its fully engaging. If i give it a little more gas and release quicker, it'll thud just once as it fully engages, but sacrifice a smooth takeoff.
