I just installed a new spec steel flywheel, new spec stage 1 clutch and now that it is all back together when I take off kind of easy at low rpm's it chatters real bad like it shakes the whole car.Now if I leave at a little higher rpm it does not do it at all,will this go away as it gets broke in or did I do somthing wrong? Thanks for any help guys.

Did you torque everything to spec?? I don't think a SPEC Stage 1 should be doing that. I expect it from my Centerforce Stage II

I would say wait until the break in period is over and see if it still happens. It was really bad with my spec clutch at first, like you said the whole car would shake, but now it only happens a little bit (but mine is a stage 3 so I would think the stage 1 wouldnt chatter after being broken in)

Yes I torqued the flywheel bolts to 59 to 64 and the pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts 12 to 24.
