I just paid 300.00 to have my brand new 800.00 fx300 installed and it chatters real bad when ingaged is this normal??? I bought this clutch because i was under the impression it wouldnt sound like an 18 weeler clutch should i take it back have them look at it?I am extreamly dissapointed for an 1100.00 purchase my friends with fx 400 arnt this loud and most other comparable ones i hear dont make much noise at all????
any ideas CM?

It is normal for them to chatter a bit untill they are fully broke in, 500-600 miles. If it is still chattering after that then there is a possablitly that the clutch was dropped during shipping and the casting got out of balance. Also the disc may have been warped durring install if it was not aligned correctly. Please PM me if it keeps up and I can get you the return info.
Ok, after reading this I feel better. I have had mine in for about 200 miles now. I bought mine with the lightened flywheel from a vendor on the site. I don't take the car over 4000RPM or shift hard, but it still starts to chatter randomly when at idle. I know one of my LCA bushings is bad (I can see it starting to back out) so hopefully when my new one comes in and I get it installed I will see an improvement. I have exactly what is described in b4tn's write-up. Thanks for the link fellas.
Mine has been chattering LOUD when clutch is OUT for about 12,00 miles, drives normal, doesnt slip, and it was put in by professionals...i did the 500 mile break in....someone told me its just the TOB and its normal...but i always thought mine was a little too loud...
mine did sound pretty loud at first during the break in, but after 700 miles of breaking it in with no boost and not going over 3k rpm's the clutch feels beautiful better then stock

Ok so im not the only one, i bet it has to do something with the flywheel alignment specs and the step procedure as stated on that paper in the box...most people dont follow it...but mine hasnt slipped only when getting hot it feels like it doesnt want to engage and gets higher...
Just for shucks, my chatters sometimes when its engaged in neutral. No big deal, its a great clutch. I might be coming back to you guys for a FX400 plate and pressure plate.
