I have just reinstalled my ZF after I had some work done to replace the ring/pinion and safety wire the bolts.
I decided to install a new McCleod 3 finger style clutch and pressure plate.
I also had the stock flywheel resurfaced. Now that I put everything back together I am getting clutch chatter when I start out in first gear.
I've only driven it about 50 miles so far and it does seem to be getting a little better as I make more engagements but I shouldn't have any chatter.
I cleaned everything well before the install and I have the clutch engagement point set correctly.
I also now notice a strong vibration anytime the motor reaches about 2800rpm that wasn't there before I did the clutch work. Looking for some help on process of elimination as to what could be wrong.
I suspect that maybe the resurfaced flywheel may now be out of balance or not resurfaced properly (or both)?
I laid a straight edge on it and it seemed flat before installation. I dread having to take it all back apart.
Thanks! Sean Mundy
