After being on my to-do list for almost a year, I finally bought and installed a Monster Level 3 clutch with the 18lb billet flywheel, Tick MC w/speedbleeder and a new slave. This is my first clutch install and actually my first time pulling the tranny so I'm just a little but proud of doing it myself in my garage on jack stands

Just a quick question. Drove it about 30 miles so far and there seems to be quite a bit of chatter under 1800RPM. I'm assuming this is normal and part of the break in process?

I've been driving it gingerly but still notice how hard it grabs, love it. And I think people way over exaggerate the clutch pedal pressure. I was expecting to slam on the clutch to change gears but it's hardly firmer than stock, you can feather it nicely. Overall great products from Tick and SNL keep up the good work

Congrats! Chattering when new is common however could also indicate in proper torquing of the pressure plate. I wrote numbers on my pressure plate and drew lines to make sure I didn't miss any passes on a bolt

You should notice chatter going away after the first 500 or so city miles

OP

more aggressive disc material typically results in "chatter", especially during the break-in period. You will find adjusting your engagement technique should resolve most of that. Try avoiding "slipping" the clutch so you don't wind up glazing the disc.

Ok, the only time I "slip" the clutch is coming from a dead stop smoothly, all other gears I basically just dump the clutch.
