Doesn't bad break-in cause chatter?

 

We're not talking about chatter, I'm talking about when the clutch is fully engaged you can feel the springs inside the disc compressing and decompressing. I don't know what causes it but after I get out of my neighborhood its gone, kind of strange.

Street ruler, the clutch is engaged when the clutch pedal is released. Disengaged is when the clutch is depressed. Chatter can be the result of an uneven flywheel, disc, or it can be caused by a burnt flywheel or glazed clutch disc.

 

Anime, whats the news? Are you going to take the car back to the shop and see if they can find the problem? Sounds like they did something wrong. The clutch is a beyotch, thats why you make sure everything is perfect before putting the car back together. Honda says 7 hours.

 

Yeah I'll be taking it back to the shop. Just not sure when. It's 70 miles round trip to the shop.

I still have a supercharger waiting for install down there.

 

If you want it done, hire it done. If you want it done RIGHT, do it yourself.

 

i do most of the work I can myself. Unfortunately, installing a clutch, rebuilding a diff and replacing the transmission is a little beyond my shadetree mechanic pay grade. Not that I think i COULDN'T do it, but I don't have the tools or experience.

For example, I adjusted the clutch engagement point tonight so it's not so near the floor. It didn't make a difference in terms of noise or behavior, but it was satisfying nonetheless. This weekend I helped at a maintenance/mod day, changing a member's pads and rotors, replacing my TCT and axle nuts...

 

I just bought all the tools to do diffs whew that was expensive. Interested to see what the shop says.

 

Thanks Bill. I actually know some of the people who work there and they are interested in hearing ways to improve this issue. Feel free to post in here or PM me. I know the CC clutch disc has 6 springs, and the OEM has 4, but, apart from that, what are some of the more technical differences in the spring retainers. I guess a better question would be: what about the spring retainers did Honda change in order to reduce the clutch buzz?
