Clutch Chatter

I'm noticing a lot of clutch chatter when engaging 1st slowly. Has anyone else encountered this? Was there a fix?

I experience it too. The only way around it is to not accelerate too much when engaging. You've got to be engaged most of the way before accelerating. Also, if you accelerate too much before engaging, and let it down too fast, then it'll chatter too. But is there a fix for it?

Make sure you have the revs up high enough - around 2000 - 2500. As the clutch bites, gently continue to increase the revs as you continue to let up on the clutch.

The chatter normally comes about because you don't have enough revs.

I have the slightest chatter out of mine... 34k on the car. A little depressing, but it isn't weak and grabs quite nicely still.
