monster when i put my monster3 with chromoly flywheel i would just rev it to 1500 then dump it on first gear take off. its smoother now that its broken in though. Drives nicer once broken in. i drive my car seven days a week. but i know what you mean when you say first gear can be tough. im guessin it was with me because im cammed and on 3.42 gears

I'm at about 200 miles and its starting to smooth out. Chatters a bit if you try to engage it around 1000, bump it to 1500 and you're usually pretty good.
I had a Spec 3 x-pad back in the day that chattered no matter what, even after break-in. Then I had a Textralia that virtually never chattered after the first 50 miles.

300 Miles on it now and it does not chatter as bad. Just a small amount when taking off now. I honestly think it caused my tail shaft seal to leak cause the chatter was so bad when it was first installed.

They were a huge PITA to beat in. I did mine after my flywheel was bolted up though. In my case.. I had to remove the dowel pins. Which meant removing the flywheel and getting new GM bolts. I installed it again without dowel pins and it was more easy then just pounding in 1 dowel pin. It's just personal preference. Works the same either way.

What does that have to do with chatter? I've had air bubbles, but that never caused chatter. Monster even says they will chatter, but will go away by 500 miles. All air bubbles have ever done to me is cause my clutch to stick to the floor. My clutch chattered initially...after about 120 miles it lessened and now at 200 miles it is almost gone. It will surely be a very smooth clutch after 500 miles, and most likely sooner.

I did the install and had my hydaulic system purged and added some Wilwood high temp fluid. Chatter is a minimum. 1st Gear is a bit rough, but I only have 35 miles on it. What are the rules for a proper break-in period?

I've got 1600+ miles on mine and I still have some chatter in 1st. Followed instructions to a T as well. I have bleed the crap out of the hydraulics. I think trying to slip it will cause it to chatter. If I let the clutch out quicker with a higher rev, chatter is minimal. My cam with 3.42s cannot be helping the situation.
