[FC] Re: clutch/diff

[corvanatics@corvair.org]

chatter can and is caused by things that aint sposed to be...such as uneven 
surface on flywheel, pressure plate or disk, or oil/greasy fingerprints on 
disk(doesnt take much and it takes forever to burn off) . i used to rough up all 
surfaces a little with a 60 grit disk...flywheel, pressure plate and disk. that 
wore in nicel;y and felt good. new pilot bushing lubed lightly(so it does not 
migrate to disk area!) and make sure disk moves smoothly on the input shaft. 
checking carefully all items before assembly should give you a smooth 
clutch...motor mounts are a bigger problem on fc's also.just check everything out for 
tightness/loosness  etc and you should be fine..i take any ridges or roughness 
off the shaft splines on a belt sander. make it shine!.but i do enjoy my 
powerglides a lot now especially on group tours/caravans...
