Clutch question
Does the contact of the clutch with the flywheel bolts cause chatter or any other issues, even remotely?
Thanks.

Re: Clutch question
I have not seen the clutch contact the flywheel bolts on any vehicle when properly installed. It should not
contact the bolts. Jim

Re: Clutch question
Could be a bad throw out bearing or pressure plate finger.

Also, if the clutch has been replaced, the flywheel/pressure plate may not have been resurfaced or resurfaced properly. Or as in my case, a defective clutch disk was the cause. |

Re: Clutch question
Also clutch facing material can do it, I have a ceramic clutch and if you try to smoothly engage it, it will chatter. In my case it is engaged or not, so I litterally have to dump the clutch every single time, the cops love that by the way! If stocker, I'd be looking to get a new clutch pack and resurface or better yet buy a new OE replacement flywheel (about $75 from Summit) as the old one could be warped, thin, out of round, etc, etc and is probably 40 ish years old, too.
