Have one that chatters but only after warm-up? It is ..o I forget which one but the one that feels most like stock at the pedal.

It wasnt broken in properly, they chatter when not properly heat cycled.

They make a few. The Gold Class, Stage II, Dual Friction, DFX, etc.

Any of those?

I never had the issue

How many miles have you put on it? Some aftermarket clutches will chatter for a couple hundred miles until fully broken in.

Brake tq is hitting the brake and the gas at the same time causing the tires to spin, LIKE I SIAD I WOULD NOT RECOMEND IT THOUGHT as it might make ur situation worse!!! and is not good for the car....

Well Keith

I don't know if it still applies to the materials the disks are made from these days
but back in the 60's and 70's all the gearheads I knew broke in a new clutch
with real easy kind of driving for 100 miles or so before beating on it.

Then for the next couple hundred miles ...
you kinda started to work it harder as the miles passed

These were typical aftermarket types of clutches for street and strip use.
You know ... much more holding power than OEM but not all out race.
They were long style clutches and V E R Y hard to put on the floor.
