Also consider that a cylinder misfire and runability issues can cause a transmission chatter too. Chatter at 1200 rpm seems a little excessive but I continue to see it all the time with seemingly no ill effects, however you can't tell until something fails or you dismantle to inspect whether the chatter is a sign of an impending failure or just normal for that particular unit. Keep an eye on the condition of the fluid. Sometimes an impact will rear it's ugly head through a transmission failure years after the running gear is repaired. For this reason, I always recommend transmission removal and dismantle after a good impact. Insurance companies don't like that as they prefer to minimize costs and just cross their fingers but it should be noted in writing that a future failure should be considered part of the original impact claim just in case that happens a couple of seasons later.
