    Well it all started with the first clutch install and the ending results were bad really bad vibrations so I take it back out and ship it back to southbend and they ship me a stage 5 so me and a couple of friends put it in last night well it still vibrates but NOT as bad as the one i shipped back, u really feel it around 2K rpm and yes all the bolts are tight and i have all 3 solid mounts so i dont know if its normal or not oh and it doesnt matter if the clutch is pushed or not and being at a stand still

    Hmmm. Wonder what the stocker would be like. I remember having a Centerforce Racing clutch installed on my Shelby Z and it was a pain in the ass and the guy told me he would never install a clutch in a FWD again. lol...He was working in his driveway though haha. Still, I 'kind of' feel for ya goatsy.

    Yes, but not the Flywheel. Unless you replaced that too?

    I have heard stories of the stage 4 and above clutches being like this. Not just in a Skittle but others as well. It is a competition clutch, so it may be normal to have some vibration.

    You're also going to feel more vibration with SOLID motor/tranny mounts.....

    If you want to take the time to do so, it may answer some of your questions..... I have all solid mounts and prothane bushings in my civic. It will make your balls tingle. :blush: :grin:

    With the 3puck clutch, it vibrates at any speed... but, yes, it does get more higher pitched, or quicker with higher RPMs.

    it is the solid mounts, i have the centerforce dual friction clutch. I had the 2 solid mounts and when I put in the stage 3 transmission I put a solid bwoody trans mount too. Well the car would vibrate like it was gonna fall apart just sitting there revving it up some and friend said motor didnt move. Thought it was clutch but switched the out the trans mount back to stock and its a night and day diff. I don't race the car that much so I will keep the stock in. Try putting it back in and see. Also my friend has a 6 puck and they chatter. Idk much bout the southbend. hope this helps

    this might be a dumb question, but did you line up the marks on the clutch with the flywheel? I have done a couple of SB clutches now with no vibrations what so ever.

    Sounds like the pressure plate is off center or a bad pilot bushing.
