It's been along time since I have had a new clutch so maybe as it breaks in it will stop? Any answers are highly appreciated.

Thanks Alan
Difficult to get an idea of what you're trouble is. If the pedal engages in a reasonable position the no adjustment should be needed. Go get yourself stuck in some stop and go traffic in the downtown Houston area around 8am or 5pm (drivers' choice ) and by the time you get home, your clutch will be broken in. Many clutches will chatter when you're trying to slip them if that's what you're talking about. That subsides after a decent amount of driving in most cases.

Yes chatter is what it's doing. I never though of breaking in that way. I will get on 290 around 5 today, that should do it thanks for your help.
