[FC] clutch/diff

[Merv Krull and or Loretta Prosser]

Smart ass answer: spray everything with silicone lubricant!
Yer basic down to earth helpful type guy answer: I have not had a chatter 
problem in by GB. It has a 110 4 speed transplant and other than spewing oil 
seems to run just great. This is after being stored for several years too.
Of course, it might be cause I let the clutch out so fast it only gets a 
chance to go "chat"
