I always forget to warn people about that. Yes the SPEC is a very soft clutch. I too had the idea, from DSM guys and thier ACT 2600 clutches, that it would be hard on the calf, but it's almost as if it has no pedal pressure. It takes time to adjust to it but then it works great. And yes the chatter is like a sqeeke, a bounce, or something going on that sounds out of place. Maybe a marbels jumping around sound. Possibly followed by a slight hop. Hard to decribe. :wary I don't know how to prevent or if it's just related more to certain types of clutches. And I too heard no break-in was needed but I did for 500 miles, which was in the supplied attention slip in the SPEC packaging. I guess it's up to you but I would think, you do less harm getting on it right away. :thumbsup
