Hard to say but it sounds like you are describing clutch "chatter".

Something is loose, or cracked plates.

this happends mainly when the moter has been running awhile. is there a possibility of blowing the motor if this issue gets worse?

Best to take it back to where you had the clutch replaced.

Are you hearing this, or feeling it. Clutch chatter is easy to feel, but typically isn't accompanied by much sound. It could also be bad engine mounts, allowing the engine to move around and rock too much.
