Is it a dual mass clutch? And I already assume you replaced the TOB when replacing clutches.

Yes the TOB, fidanza flywheel, 26 spline input shaft. Its a spec 3+ its a solid round clutch its not the 6 puc design, not sure what you mean by the dual mass.

I don't have the same clutch, but I can say the chatter NEVER goes away.
I have the McLeod Twin.

My friend put a SPEC stage 2 in his LT1 car, and the chatter went away after a couple hundred miles. Break in on a clutch will help that a lot. If you don't break it in properly, you may have chatter it's entire life.

I still have chatter in my DFX with 6K on it. You have to relearn how to drive the car. The clutch will not let the car take off anymore. You'll need to rev it to at least 1500 or so to get it moving w/o chatter.

Yea Im learning to drive it all over again its a different car. If I dont give it enough rpms the whole car shakes, cut the more miles I put on seems like its going away. I dont mind a little chatter its the nature of these clutches.

Obviously, you got it all back together.
Glad to see it turned out ok.

As for the chatter, it may diminish with some break-in.
But, you are right in so much as you'll have to relearn to drive it. That will help a lot.

NEVER!!!!! you will have to live with it :lmao::lmao::lmao:

i know how you feel i had a $600 clutchmaster in my car and it sounded like there was a bird under my car

 

[rdsnake]

It should go down after the break in

 

[Flyn]

As mentioned above, more rpms can help lessen chatter. Even with my stock clutch, I double touch the throttle when I start out. First touch raises the rpm a little, second touch is during clutch engagement. This method makes it easier to start out without chatter or lurching. So far 47,000 miles on the stock clutch.

The SPEC 3 will chatter some forever, it will reduce a little and you will also learn to drive in a way that it makes it minimal, but that clutch is very aggressive.
