I have a 2003 Cobra and recently installed a Centerforce dual friction clutch with a Fidanza flywheel. I have a firewall adjuster setup as well.

When I drove it initially I noticed some chattering especially in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. I then noticed when I was on the freeway it was fine and then when getting off the freeway and driving on the street the chatter started going away. Then driving later that same day mainly on the street, it began to chatter more and more to the point where the pedal would shake even at idle.

Any ideas of what could be the problem? Thanks.

I know my Spec stage 3 chattered when I first installed it, so instead of letting it chatter I would just rev a little high and let the tires spin a bit. Maybe try re-adjusting?

Is everything new?
