I just put in a new clutch and I think the disc may be chattering. Can someone explain to me what the clutch disc is doing when it chatters? What causes chatter? Can it be fix(inexpensively) or is it irreversable? Does it cause the disc to wear quicker? Can it lead to other major problems? Basically what I am asking is can I still drive and race on a clutch that is doing this? Thanks alot for all the help with this pain in the ass clutch.

and i thought that the engines where the pain in the @ss of the fc...

explain in better detail what exactly it is that it's doing! man when it rains it pours huh!

It sure does Johann. When the car is in nuetral I can here a chattering sound coming from the clutch. When I depress the clutch pedal the noise lessens but is still there. When I put it in gear it goes away altogether. Otherwise the clutch acts the way it is supposed to. Any ideas.

it could be the throwout bearing, did you change that?

Yes I did. The only things I didn't change were the master and slave cylinders. Any other ideas?

Mine does that too, but it's done that since I've had the car (few months).

mine does it too... it just chatters when in neutral cuz its not spining anythnig... its just spinning loose... as long as its not ,aking noise when engaged in gear i think its fine

If it makes noise with the clutch out it can't be the throwout bearing.... if your clutch is properly adjusted the throwout bearing isn't in play when the clutch pedal is out, if it is you have about a week before the thing is pieces.

Well if the thing should be in pieces in about a week then I must not have clutch chatter. I've had it in for 2 weeks now and nothing has happened. Maybe it is a normal sound my car makes. I probably never noticed it before. Thanks Phins.
