RE: Re: I need clutch help - PLEASE
Due to the occasional non-availability from Hugh, I have rebuilt/replaced
several clutches, both disks and pressure plates over the years. I did the
installations, but had a local rebuilder do the work. Quality has been fine.
Chatter is caused by uneven pressure. Usually it is a misadjusted pressure
plate providing an uneven load to the clutch plate (the three bolts holding the
forks take care of this, but you'll need a controllable compression mechanism
and proper measurement equipment -- a brake/clutch house should do this as part
of the rebuild. Cost has been less than $100.00 complete, both pressure plate
assembly & disc w/ new springs/friction material), but can also be a warped
flywheel. Also check that the fork return springs are is good shape.
Good Luck,

the exact same problem and was about to take the plunge and pull the engine to
replace the clutch. Maybe I should wait? I have a new transmission and older
clutch which still looked brand new when I decided to reuse it during my
re-build about 7 years ago. What gives?

Hi all, I just reassembled Snappy the white 64 after a total restoration.
Rebuilt motor with a "Gordon rebuilt" transmission and clutch and pressure
plate. The deal is the bilgen clutch CHATTERS, I mean as you start from a
stop. This car has all new motor and transmission mounts, but when you let
out the clutch in a normal fashion it wants to shake the whole car and
starting out up hill is much worse. This car did the same thing before the
rebuild. The clutch works perfect after you're moving, it is just as you
first start to move the car. I have about 1 inch of free clutch pedal
movement. I am not aware of any other adjustments. Any advice is welcome.
Both my other cars do the same thing, I thought they needed clutches, what do
I do? Please Tommy in Tampa
