Chatting sound

My 94.5 has 99k on it and since I bought it with 97k the transmission has always had a chatter sound to it.
Now it seems it's getting worse and only seems to be noticed real well when starting out or down shifting going to slower speeds like 3rd to second.
Also the clutch doesn't seem to be slipping yet. I look at my tach when applying the gas pedal to see if the rpms go up a little faster than the speedometer. Just wanting any thoughts or ideas of me being in the ballpark at least of what to look for when the clutch starts going.

Possible DMF? Take the inspection plate off and see what kind of flywheel you have.

The flywheel does have the springs on it. Which means it's the DMF and not the SMF right. I don't know much about the DMF except for a lot of people on here go with the SMF instead.
Also heard the DMF is supposed to be quieter I'm not seeing that lol
