Competition Clutch Stage 3 Kit with Lightened Flywheel Impressions
So I finally had my clutch changed a couple of weeks ago and wanted to give my impressions. First off, my car is turboed (300whp @12 psi) and has been for 3 years. I was on the stock clutch until this swap, so obviously I don't drive my car like I stole it.
The clutch change was performed by Emerald Coast Motorsports in FWB and they did a fantastic job! I also had a SS clutch line installed, along with Amsoil transmission fluid and Motul diff fluid. I babied the car for about a week to get through the 500 mile break-in period. The clutch feels very close to stock in drivability, with the engagement point being much closer to the floor (about 1" from the floor). I DD 35 miles each way to/from work, about 50% stop and go traffic and 50% highway driving. The clutch doesn't have any issues in traffic, even stopped on hills. I will say the clutch is a little noisier below 2K rpms, but isn't too bad. I have about 1K miles on it so far and am really happy with my clutch choice! |

Do you have clutch chatter at all? Also, have you noticed an escaping air like noise when you press the clutch?

I wouldn't call it clutch chatter, but the drivetrain is a slight bit noisier. As for the air like noise, no but I'll pay closer attention to try to hear any.

I have the chatter... which isn't really a noise, but more like... first gear the car shakes sometimes. Sometimes it's perfect, no issues but the air sound. Sometimes it chatters like a naked man in Alaskan winter.

How would I lessen the chatter? Cuz it usually happens after driving for a while. More gas or slower clutch release maybe?
