The Ford Barn - View Single Post - I Can't Stop My Clutch Chatter On My '53!

Never worked for me. I once put a new pressure plate, disk, and resurfaced flywheel in my '51. When it still chattered, I followed my 80 year old neighbor's advice and tried this (only I used a power pole). Just made it worse. The next year I found out it was bad motor mounts. Luckily I didn't do any damage with this "technique". As I look back on it now, deep down I had little confidence in doing this, so I didn't really put full power to it.

Bottom line? If you have this much time and money into a project and still have problems, find them and fix them and don't resort to stuff like this.
