If it chatters when you start up I would be concerned. If some of the gears do not work, the clutch may be the problem.If the pedal is too low to the floor or gears strip or grind when you shift, it may only need adjusting.

Fortunately, compared to automatic transmission, clutches are cheap to fix.
