Question Why does the clutch/flywheel chatter? It's random..

Which is it chattering? And why does it have so much on its mind?

No, ok, but seriously, my clutch or flywheel or both chatter at idle with the clutch pedal up. It goes away once I push the clutch pedal in.

BUT, it's almost at complete random, sometimes it chatters, sometimes it doesn't. Why is it random? Can it be fixed?

Thanks.

its actually noise originated in the transmission. the dual mass flywheel is there to help dampen the sounds.

Normal when under heavy load(high gear & low rpm) or not in gear/clutch out.

Installed the JWT combo on my friends Z...its not that noisy. I expected a lot worse given that everyone here always complains about the noise. Mostly noticeable only in the garage or enclosed area at idle.
