Anyone else's AWE Stage 2 clutch/LWFW chatter like a ****?
I had it installed about 2000 miles ago and it still chatters real bad, I was wondering if anyone else experienced this. Its odd because my flywheel chatters even when I depress the clutch pedal. Any thoughts?

I havent had any problems with mine yet
and it did bring back some of the driveablilty lost in the low end of the revs due to 272 cams.
Car revs up quicker, its easier to rev match and it does pull harder, noticeably in lower rev range where I was badly needing more power because my cams shifted a lot of mine to the uppper revs.
Its not for everybody but I'm happy with mine.

It's not about power...
It's about quicker throttle response (which is HORRIBLY bad stock, in my opinion) which means enhanced heel-toe and rev-matched downshifts. Hell, even when my GF or friends drive my car who don't rev match there's no forward/rear weight shift whatsoever.
I wouldn't have done the clutch w/o one.

I think its the pressure plate fingers that vibrate/resonate....
being that a flywheel is a solid chunk of metal, not sure how exactly it would chatter.
isnt it the clutch engaugement that sometimes chatters or skips or is jerky?
The stock flywheels I've seen are 2 piece with some play built into the assembly. Not certain what that does for driveability, but I guess its probably to calm the driveline between throttle and braking usage or application.
