New Luk Repset clutch chatter
So I replaced clutch in January with a Luk. They come fully assembled. I have been noticing a small amount of chatter when shifting into reverese when the clutch is engaged, it is about a 2 second span, and sometimes when shifting from first to second as the clutch engages into second, but does not through any other gear. It isn't loud and is a short span. Only does it when basically the car is cold, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I think it was a dual mass flywheel set up and not a light weight which generally produce chatter. I know some people say there is a break in period and some don't, but it has been over lets say 3k since the clutch was replaced. Aamco trasmission put it in. Thought?

Well I feel like an idiot for replying to myself, but I found the problem. Had nothing to do with clutch or transmission. Heat shield above the steering rack is cracked and makes almost like a light chatter noise shifting between gears. Tightened it down a little bit to see if that would help. If it was anywhere else on the car I would just take it off but lookes like it keeps the exhaust from the steering rack and def not messing with that. If it continues to make the noise only a $70 shield from dealership prob cheaper elsewhere but a b*tch to put in.
