a friend of mine just had a clutch assy. and flywheel put in today. He got in it and loved the way it felt. then noticed it started chattering or something. he thought it might be the weights on it that he noticed since it is different than stock but still kinda worried. anyone have this with thier setup or does he need to get ahold of centerforce or something?

thanks thats what i needed to know, and thats what we thought it was. only does it at idle and sounds like those old beads that where put on bicycle spokes to make noise.

I just put a DF clutch in. Already had the aluminum flywheel in there. I don't get any noise from the clutch and engagement is smoother than the stock clutch was.

I used to have a DF clutch in my old mud truck and it did the same thing.

I run the exact setup you speak off( see sig) and have no problemswith noise or anything, Love it! I ran the DFX on my Cobra and while it was a nice clutch it was not the best choice for a DD.
