Default Clutch Chatter

I recently replaced the R's clutch with a Competition Clutch 6 puck Sprung hub clutch. Their basic 6 puck clutch. Now it has EXCESSIVE chatter. I had a 6 puck clutch specialties clutch in my gsr before and never had this problem. The chatter makes it almost unbearable in stop and go traffic and even moving slowly in a parking lot. Anyone know what I could do? Aside from replacing the clutch again


TIA!

replace the clutch with a clutch masters stg3..unless you're boosted and making crazy numbers.

edit: i noticed my GSR tranny mated with a hyperclutch (clutch specialties) 6 puck with sprung hub had more chatter than when i switched over to the ITR tranny. i think the LSD had a play in that.

trying to not replace the clutch since it's brand new and neither have the time nor the money to have another one installed.

Could adjust the clutch help this problem?

I put an exedy stage 2 (3 puck) ceramic clutch in my 99 teg type r and i found it was really bad in town etc, but very nice on the freeway. However here in the UK we have s*it traffic and town driving is slow, became unbearable so i replaced it back for an honda full face oem. Apart from trying to match revs as you engage the clutch there's absolutely nothing you can do, but doing that can wear it down quickly.

once your moving it's sweet, as you say though it the initial starting off, it's embarrasing when in traffic !!!

My advise is to turn your radio up untill it is broke in more . 9 times out of 10 people say that the chatter goes away after they fully break it in.
