clutch chatter.

When letting the clutch out leaving a light, I get a chatter. It shakes the car until the clutch is all the way out. The clutch was replaced 10k miles ago with a spec. Stage 1. Any ideas?

Maybe oil on the clutch... Have you noticed a leak?

I have not seen any oil on the ground. I forgot to mention that the care also has a lightened flywheel.

Any other ideas? Maybe this is what spec clutches do?

10k miles is enough time for bolts to work loose if somebody didn't use loc-tite. I would visually inspect it.

I have a Spec II clutch and it does the same thing since install. People said it would get better but 15k later it hasnt. Grips fine though. I have had other HP clutches that chattered in the past on other cars. Decided Ill live with it until the engine comes out. The clutch change is a bitch.
