My clutch always chatters, I am considering putting in a new clutch /
pressure plate.  Did you cut your flywheel before you installed your new
clutch?

Wow, you mean I'm not the only one whose van bounces up and down
once the clutch warms up?  I don't think I have a Canadian clutch,
but then again I'm not sure... I seem to remember both the clutch
plate and pressure plate being Sachs items, but I'm not positive.
I replaced the whole mess when I did an engine rebuild a couple
of years ago.

I've always had the clutch chatter, no matter what parts are in
there!
