Hello everyone. I had my clutch replaced and flywheel resurfaced at the dealer for this problem at 36K around two years ago. The clutch was fine for a while, then it started chattering shifting into first and second (not so much the higher gears) and got progressivly worse. In reading posts on this problem, some said that this was normal for the car..so I decided to live with it. The chattering got worse and worse and recently it has gotton so bad, that the wheels will sometimes hop. It doesn't do this all the time. Now, in heavy traffic, not only does it chatter, but there's a moaning sound also.
The chattering happens mostly when it's cold and damp. I've checked the engine mounts and transaxle fluid, both are fine.
Since it doesn't happen all the time, is this something that I have to live with? I know that other people have this problem. I am thinking of installing an ACT Clutch. Do I opt for a stock clutch and risk having it chatter again?.. Thanks for any help

 

sounds like it coul be a hot spot on your flywheel.

 

and to add to this questoin when does clutch chatter usually occur? when the rpms are raised a bit? or would it happen more commonly when u are just coming off the clutch with no gas? because mine seems to be doing the "chattering" when i am coming off the clutc with no gas, and sometimes when i am givin a lil gas and comin off the clutch

 

The higher the RPMs the less chatter. It doesn't chatter and rattle all the time...mostly when it's cold and more so in 1st and 2nd

 

does it make u think that something is loose when it chatters? even tho there is nothing loose?

 

Im seeing this same type of problem, and Im almost at 40k on my car. Its just the first few shifts of the day and its kinda like a rubbing sound, and its just not smooth, and only on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. 2-3 it isnt as bad though. Ill keep an eye on this thread for possible solutions.
