Now, that's interesting. I'll have to try that. I don't think it's oil on the disc, as I don't have any leaks yet.

Russ,
I "think" it was just highs & lows in the lining material & the chattering just ADDED to them. Taking off from an idle in second was smooth as glass & ,I "think" that helped smooth down the HIGH spots.
I once worked part time for a clutch rebuilder & "understand" such things. Bill versed me on Ford clutches & ONLY let me rebuild THEM. He didn't think I had the "WHAMO" power to master the TOUGH rivets, on the G.M. Diaphragm pressure plates. BUT, it was a "CUP of TEA", doin' the discs.
If I made a list of all the things I've worked at, you wouldn't BELIEVE me! Once worked as a "professional" PICKLE TASTER, even! (I don't LIE, I like to sleep at night!)
