Hey guys, I am in the process of looking for a new flywheel/clutch combo and wanted to hear the so called "chatter" everyone is getting. I youtube'd it but can't really tell. If anyone has one and goes to Canibeat meet or something could you let me know so I could take a listen? I dont want spend $1000 of something im not going to like. Thanks!

Ps I live around the fremont union city area

 

Clutch chatter is mostly vibrations caused by a performance clutch. Imagine someone taking your transmission and tossing it into a washing machine.

It's sort of like when your take off from a hill on really low RPM and the car begins to vibrate/shudder. You might have felt the pedal vibrating and heard metallic clunking from the motor/transmission moving around. That's pretty much what clutch chatter is, except now it happens more often. Even on my OE clutch, if I'm taking off on a hill, and keep it below 1k RPM, the clutch chatters/vibrates.

You can probably replicate clutch chatter on your OE clutch by going on a steep hill, and taking off at the lowest RPM.

Here's a good video of the kind of chatter I experienced in my car. You can see the shaking, which is what causes the noise.


I highly doubt your setup will be even close to this bad. The only person I know who I think swapped into an aftermarket setup was Mitch (golden_shower) but he sold his car. But from what I remember, the chatter was not bad at all.

 

Will mine chatter since its an auto??

 

the only vibration in your car is coming from the purple thing in your anus.

 

Damn that sounds super loud and bad.... maybe i'm just going to stick with a stock dual mass

 

^ it won't sound anything like that.
