chuckstang Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Any one else have this issue We are talking much worse. I have 373 gears but still have to rev it way up even in reverse Never had this issue before TSB was performed, what could cause this, I have heard chatter should be much less after TSB is performed. Also noticed that chatter is bad both cold and hot, does not matter. Would really like to figure this out because it makes driving the car not fun at all and nearly dangerous as I have to nearly launch the car from a stop Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The chatter will never go away completely, but will "mellow" over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light66 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The chatter will never go away completely, but will "mellow" over time. Agree. I am one who is extremely pleased with the TSB after 5500 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckstang Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 So you thinnk that the chatter will lessen over time because before I had the TSB done, I had no chatter, now a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can count on it. The clutch is brand new and quite "sticky" right now, but will gradually soften with use and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. My chatter was terrible after the TSB. Now with just over 1,000 miles since the work, it is much better and almost gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SicShelby Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Interesting... mine seems to be going in the other direction as well. Not so much chatter right after the TSB, and now it seems like I have more. Maybe I'm just experiencing the post-crazy crazies of the TSB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckstang Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 wow this is a relief I guess Did you guys wait before going balls to the wall after your TSB was performed? I maybe gave her 100 miles and thats it, but then again I never launched the car at the track, I am just talking about the occastional red line speed shift. I am paranoid that, that was not wise!

I noticed the same thing. I find there are two ways to eliminate it, one start letting the clutch out until it starts to pull the car a little then gradually add throttle while letting the clutch out. This is for normal slow take offs. The other is to rev up and slip the hell out of it. That will lead to premature wear but works. Anything in between will result in chatter. Usually if mine starts to chatter, I stop letting the clutch out and get off the gas until it stops and then back on the gas. It takes some practice but it can be done without a lot of revs. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TSB is not the culprit. I look at it this way, the clutch is great and the driver is rewarded by proper technique. It is not that hard to routinely have smooth, chatter free starts without over-reving. I see a common mistake when I let others drive my GT500. One's do not put their heal on the floor board and slide clutch pedal under the ball of their foot. This technique permits a smooth progressive "up-take". When the alternative is done, no heal on the floor board, and they simply use leg action that tries to find the clutch sweet-spot will more than likely experience shutter.

Just need to be agressive and get the thing out quickly. I did for the first month of driving, but I have completely adjusted and now can drive it with zero shudder.

Exactly, don't spend a lot of time finding the sweet-spot, find it then quickly release the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shuddering type of feeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlloyDropTop Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 OK guys don't jump on me but is this what is considered clutch chatter. A shuddering type of feeling? If you slip the clutch, the entire car will start to shake like a wet dog. Very severe shaking.... That said, I know how to never make it happen. If I want to make it happen, I could do it on demand, too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
