Anyone know more about this chatter? I'm almost under the impression that it's normal or part of clutch break in.
My car makes this noise too and I was worried if it's normal or not because all the other MT cars that I had didn't make this noise. I also hear that this is normal for the type of clutch this car has, and I probably just didn't have any car with a lightweight clutch before. I'm not worried about it anymore, but I still feel a little bit embarrassed when this noise gets loud in the covered parking lot when I'm decelerating and people turn their heads. I can prevent the noise during acceleration if I accelerate really slowly.
