i had alot of clutch chatter from a new oem clutch and it hasnt gone away yet. it only happens when letting off the gas at about 80 mph and high rpms and i have had it for like the past 500 miles...if it doesnt get better ill will need this kit too..

i would sugest you to get the kit bc the stock self-adjusting quadrant will strip the teeth off and you will have to replace it anyways so its better to go and get the kit before this happens

Hey 5.0 I had the same problem. Did you make sure you cleaned the clutch? There is a paper that comes with the clutch that says you have to clean it. If you had a mechanic clean it then they most likely did not clean it. I went back and asked them why does it do that and they said that I have to wear it in and I did but it was still horrible so I asked them if they cleaned it and they said no since when they themselves buy the clutch they dont have to so I took the paper to them and they re-did it for me and the vibration went down A LOT, after about 300 miles I didnt feel it anymore and still dont. Try it, unless you already did.
