Yup, Dave's right. I have Josh's 9 puck disc. It can chatter, but it's really
all in how you let up on the pedal. When done
wrong, it does shake the whole car. When you let up on the pedal properly, it
works fine and gives a nice launch. That disc is
great for the track, but takes some getting use to on the street.
If that is the clutch you're using, you should try letting the clutch pedal up
just a bit faster while using just a bit less gas
pedal.
If you have less than Josh's reinforced motor mounts I would imagine the
shaking could be quite severe. With old (worn) stock motor
mounts, well.... you will be replacing them very soon.

Ed,
Which clutch is it? Is it the 9-puck clutch? If so, I think that's
normal. I heard they chatter like heck once they're hot.

Hi,
On my 95 MTX I replaced the clutch with a shonut HD pressure plate, disc
and ceramic throwout bearing. I had the flywheel ground as well.
Once I put it all together the clutch seemed very smooth and good. Then,
it seemed to get worse. On the inital take-up of the clutch, the car
would move forward smoothly. However, towards the end of the clutch
engagement, the car starts to shake. I don't feel anything in the clutch
pedal itself but the car really shakes.
Another aspect of this is that it doesn't seem to do this when the car
has just started up first thing (when the engine is cold).
Did I do something wrong? I've replaced several clutches in my time and
never had a problem like this.
One thing I thought of, especially considering the fact it is OK just
starting off and gets worse once everything is warmed up, is that could
my engine mounts be bad? I didn't seem to have a problem befor the
clutch job, just a little chatter and the clutch wasn't disengaging
properly.
Any and all comments welcome!
Thanks,
Ed
