I have a 1953 Ford V8 stick shift with bad clutch chatter! So far I have done the following: new clutch disc, new pressure plate (3rd),new throughout bearing (3rd), new front engine mounts, new transmission mount, new equalizer rod and bushing, new universal joints (3rd), resurfaced flywheel-twice, balanced drive shaft, replaced rear drive shaft flange, changed bell housing from '51 Mercury to '53 Ford,(my engine is a Mercury) the clutch fork linkage was not in perfect alignment. Now it is straight. Today the chatter is the same or worse! Now what?
