About 8 years ago I put in a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and pilot bearing. Recently the clutch chatter was getting really bad. I ordered a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and pilot bearing from C&G Ford. I put that in and no difference. The clutch and pressure plate that I took out did not look bad. I have an extra flywheel so I had it resurfaced and put in a new pilot bearing. Put that on and no difference. I was told to put my foot on the brake and let the clutch out to burn off any contaminents that was on the clutch. Have done that several times and no difference. I had about 3" of free play on the pedal so I re-adjusted the clutch so I have a bit more than 1" Still have the clutch chatter. I'm stumped. What can I try next?
