Just had installed a new TKO 500 to replace the t-45 on Friday. I reused my spec stage 2 clutch because it was only a year and half old. Bellhousing, clutch cable,quadrant, is all new. When in reverse and easing the clutch out to move, the whole car shakes and feels like it is going to fall apart. Also happens in first when easing out the clutch about to take off, but not that bad or even that noticeable. Reverse however is terrible. No problems shifting or engaging or disengaging. Is my problem clutch chatter, flywheel,TOB, transmission mount, or trans is new and needs to be broken in. Please any help is appreciated. Car is a 98GT by the way and I had no problem like this before with the t-45.
 
I'm getting alot of chatter (compared with the stocker) with my Spec Stage 1 in reverse. Not too bad but really noticable. Seems to have gotten worse over time. Maybe the design of the TKO has magnified the problem. Just a guess.
