My guess is that you have a light flywheel also and that is causing your chatter.
Lighter flywheel=less "smoothness". When you drop from a 30 pound flywheel to a 14.5, there is definitely going to be some chatter.
I have gotten to the point that I enjoy the sound.

Hmm, so the problem is really with the flywheel versus the clutch, so replacing the flywheel in lieu of the clutch *should* relieve some of the clatter (if not all)?

I'm glad that you were able to reach that point, it certainly is a nice performance boost to have it but I just can't stand it and I do a lot of low speed driving so I/pedestrians hear it a lot and it's kind of embarrassing for me to be honest. Driving the nice looking car and everything then it opens up and sounds like marbles in a can haha

The chatter can be kind of annoying, but can be overcome with technique. What I like is the marbles when you romp on it. Not to mention the acceleration gains with the lighter flywheel.
It's been almost a year, so I can't really remember what it sounded like before.
You might talk to Joe at Zspeed and get his feedback. He's very knowledgable and a real nice guy.

Thanks man, much appreciated. I'll see if I can reach out to him and get his thoughts
