Re: will my chatter go away??? Just so I can clarify this, what exactly is the chatter and would I definitely know it if mine is doing it? I just installed the Cartek and it feels good but not exactly right.

Re: will my chatter go away??? Chatter is a shuddering as the clutch is engaged. It is essentially the disc ratcheting across the friction surfaces, alternately grabbing and slipping until full pedal is applied.
The higher the Cf of the disc material (more aggressive), the more chatter will be prevalent. Gearing is another big issue -the more rear gear you run, the less the clutch has to slip to take off, the less chatter.

Re: will my chatter go away??? i had a stage III carbon clutch and the bitch NEVER calmed down. it is the bad combo of a really grabby disk and a **** poor (STOCK) PP. when it starts to lessen is when your disk is dead. sorry <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Would a new PP fix it?

Re: will my chatter go away??? Gentlemen, let me elaborate some. There are other causes of clutch chatter, the common ones we see are:
Bent disc - can occur when reinstalling the transmission if it is rocked or, worst of all' pulled in by the bolts.
Broken mounts - engine or trans. They might look good, but until you pull on them with an engine puller or other, you don't know.
Misalignments - between the engine and transmission, could be as simple as a pinched wire or a warped housing. Aftermarket bellhousings are notorious for not being 'exactly perfectly aligned' from their factories...
Flywheel not resurfaced parallel to the crank flange - the grinder must locate the flywheel off the crank flange to get a parallel grind.
If the chatter is due to the friction material, it will be directly related to heat. When the clutch is cold in the morning, it will chatter alot less or maybe not at all. Seating the clutch will usually help some, but as a general rule if it is aggressive and chattering, its not likely to go away.

One more note - using more RPM on takeoff will help alleviate some of the chatter. I drove a 6 paddle metallic disc for years and you CAN get used to it.
