Trying to diagnose clutch chatter - 1st gear only ??????

Norcal,
I think that maybe the slave mounts to a bracket that mounts to the engine. That way everything moves at the same time. You just need to have a flex line to your slave. When I was looking for a kit for my T5, there was one that bolted right up to "2" tabs on the transmission. It was a "push" from the rear to replace using the cable "pull" clutch. I ended up staying with the cable.

On an FE, the bracket can go right to the back of the block with the help of a spacer to align it properly, then all you need is the flex hose. Here's a pic of my setup:
