Can a leaking rear main cause clutch issues?
Leaky rear main won’t cause clutch chatter. It WILL make it slip eventually. Clutch chatter is usually from a mismatch between the clutch and flywheel, or rather they didn’t wear in together right.
How can you tell if you have a rear main seal leak?

What kind of clutch do I need for a 1985 Corvette?
1985 Coupe-L98/Auto,Bright Red/Carmine. 1974 Coupe-L48/4speed, Medium Red Metallic/Black Deluxe. LUK should have a clutch kit available with dual mass flywheel included. I can check and see. If you replaced the flywheel with a solid one, then the clutch disc MUST have the spring dampers in it.

Can you run a solid clutch with a flywheel?
If you replaced the flywheel with a solid one, then the clutch disc MUST have the spring dampers in it. You cannot run a solid flywheel AND solid center clutch disc together….not a good combo. (click for Texas -sized view!) NCRS Thanks Adam, I’ll check LUK to see what they have.
