Clutch chatter and jerkiness when shifting

[vvv90]

Ok, I've been driving manuals for years. I understand a certain amount of clutch chatter is normal, but SERIOUSLy, it's pretty freakin' loud. if not shifting at 1800 or 2600 RPM's it jerks back and forth pretty bad too. Almost like the trans is flexing too much.

Since I'm a newer owner, what is to be expected? If this is ok then I'll just shut up about it.

Stock clutch or aftermarket? My centerforce chattered a little at very low rpms pulling into my really tight garage when the clutch was new. I never have had chatter otherwise.

I'm asking about a stock clutch.

few differant things....

Improper break-in - hot spotted /warped the flywheel and clutch does not seat properly anymore.

Alignment issue's

Mounts?? Check the tranny mount.

Hmmm...Not good news regardless.

I will check the trans mount tonight.

Methinks a centerforce Fidanza upgrade may be coming.

Do the Viper master/slave cyl at the same time.
