Default aussie clutch chatter

I just got my aussie clutch with aluminum flywheel installed, and I know they say aftermarket clutches chatter a bit, but mine seems to shack the car a bit. I was wondering if this is normal and I hope it passes. I have put 100 easy miles on the clutch so far.

from what i read its normal, and that it goes away with some HARD driving. ive actually read that there is no "break-in" period for that clutch. basically they say break them in like break pads, few hard launches and you should be good to go!!

mine did it two, it will be a lot worse than stock even after it is broken in, you get used to it and if you learn to take off at the right rpm then it wont chatter at all. once you learn the clutch and get a fell for it youll like it alot better. Just wait until until you get it broke in and you rip it hard going from first to second then it will be worth all the time and money. you will be amased by how much more this unit grabs over stock.

That is the nature of a lightweight flywheel. It does get better after break-in, but not much.

I have noticed when I take off at about 1,500 RPMs it doesent have any chatter. I have noticed that it does grip much better than stock.

No biggie. That just comes with the territory when you put in a race clutch. Cartek's does it as well when you take off at a certain rpm. It's all just part of the game.
