#1385, "RE: Spec clutches? Anybody know anything about them?" In response to In response to 12
Clutch chatter will most likely be present for a good while(around 200-700 miles) as it wears in. Clutch chatter is when you are starting off in gear from a stop, and the clutch will jerk the car sort of, and is very hard to slip smoothly. My ceramic clutch disk was like this at first, but got much better over several hundred miles. It would be hard to start moving in reverse or first without the clutch just grabbing like all hell..was very hard to slip.. Also, a new clutch will always be a bit soft at first, and the pedal pressure should stiffen up over the break in time. Ceramic clutches *should* be broken in, just by not over slipping it too much. Go easy on it for a hundred miles or so at least. Its always a good idea too to bleed your clutch lines after a clutch install too.
