JWT Clutch and Flywheel Chatter Issues..

I have had my JWT Clutch and Flywheel installed in my car for about 20,000 miles now.

When I first installed it I had very minimal chatter. Now after putting some miles on it the chatter is MUCH worse. It sounds really loud at idle and all the way through 2000RPMs when in gear.

It also emits a loud humm noise in between 2500 and 3000rpms when I am decelerating.

Has anyone else had issues like this with their JWT setups? I am really hoping that its not going bad on me.

That's perfectly normal when you get aftermarket clutch/flywheel setup.

Yeah, it's normal. It's also worse with the AC off, heh.

I have a clutch net 6 puck race clutch with a lightweight flywheel/driveshaft. It's noisy but worth it. Also all the guys on my team have the same issues. 800whp supras, big HP RB motors, they are all the same.

Hell, the guys who work on my car have a 300zx, and their clutch/flywheel setup is so crazy, when the clutch is engaged the damn thing just chatters away like crazy.

normal. The stronger JWT pressure plate is try to keep the clutch Disc planted and thus the chatter.

I've got the same thing on my Exedy Stage 1 and one-piece flywheel. Loud as sin, annoying as hell, louder with the ac on...but after talking with different G owners, apparently normal to their ears.
