I took my engine out of the winter when my car was being painted. I made a few small changes to the engine when it was out. Most had nothing to do with the clutch. I did remove the clutch/flywheel to install a new rear main seal. My engine is back in and running great.
When I try to take off in first gear, I get a fairly large amount of clutch chatter. It seems to be worsening. Details -never had any issues until I reinstalled my engine -clutch disk has about 500 miles on it. -flywheel/pressure plate appeared normal when reinstalled -engine/transmission mounts are good -transmission was rebuilt by dr evil about a year ago -throw out bearing was fine then Ideas? Is it possible that my clutch is simply not adjusted right? |

Not likely caused by adjustment. I would say check the assembly. Rust could cause a
Short term chatter. But water in the form of snow could damage the disc. The other possible issue could be uneven pressure on the disc. From loose bolts. |
