Clutch chatter be gone
 

Just pulled my motor this morning and installed a new clutch disc and a very nice used pressure plate. What a difference. Smooth and no more chatter. ;) The old disc was junk.

Thanks Tom Endy for the heads up on the brattons clutch disc,,,,,
Thanks Tom W. for the pictures and the home made tool. I copied it and it made it easy for adjusting the 11/16 gap,,,,Hope you don't mind. :cool:
Thanks Steve from Berts for the pressure plate and fast shipping,,,,,,

Productive day today. :D

Did you replace the pilot bearing also? I have a wicked chatter, I'm up for the same job.

I just did that to mine today, had a lot of chatter. Rust all over the flywheel and pressure plate and uneven wear on the disk(?). drained the oil and water has been in the crankcase so I pulled the head, sure enough a broken gasket.
