i got a 97 dx with the factory y7 engine just changed the clutch, put in a exedy oem replacment one, included both bearings, pressure plate and clutch disk,
when the car is on in neutral and the clutch is released it makes a chattering sound like the clutch is not fully releasing, when i put in the clutch sound goes away. when im driving it catches fine but when im in accelerating it sounds like im hitting vtec but its the clutch like after 3k rpm with a shitty chattering spinning sound in the clutch, and also when i downshift, but when im cruzing @ low rpm and on the highway its fine

Now it was not making this noise before you repleaced the clutch... correct? my guess is, you put the throwout bearing in wrong. Now shift fork is on the throwout bearing correctly right? and u gressed all the spots on the throwout bearing and input shaft? You did not put the clutch disk in backwords did you? And you applyed the right amount of torque to each bolt on the clutch plate? sorry for the bad grammer and spelling, writing this fast. Hope these ideas help.

that i can remember yes iv'e done clutch repaclment before on my other honda but its a b-series but the same thing, the disk is on correct for sure i know its kinda hard to mess that up, the the throw-out is new and greased up pretty positive everything is on correct.
maybe the slave cylinder?

maybe, you could also try bleeding the clutch. Thats about all I can think of. I have done 1 clutch replace, and 3 tranny replaces. Never had this type of problem. Good luck to you

thanks man, bleeded the clutch like 3x happened to my freinds 1.5 single cam and i think he replaced his slave
