Clutch Chatter??

Just curious what this actually is? Is it a noise the clutch makes, or is it just a vibration? Also, is it harmful?

Thanks!

I've heard it has to do with the flywheel not being properly cleaned and the pressure plate side of the clutch not being properly clean. (not the actual clutch itself) Basically if there is grease or the protective coat on the clutch that the manufacturer puts on, it could result in chatter. If you're the one doing the clutch job, spray brake-clean on parts mentioned above and to help, you can take an scotch-brite pad to it but rub in an even motion, don't concentrate on one single area.

Thanks. Is it actually a noise that the clutch will make though? Like something rattling around?? Thanks!

Its not really a noise, but a feeling. When your letting out the clutch, it will 'chatter' kinda skip and not grab smoothly.

Imagine going around a bumpy turn in a 4-gen. Then imagine that feeling though the engine.
