Default Silent southbend clutch and flywheel noise?

So I had my stock slave go out and while I had it apart I bit the bullet and put a 19lb single mass flywheel, a stage 2 daily silent clutch disk and a pressure plate. All southbend and I went on and got the had slave and master cylinder. So to the question with the noise. I put the motul 300 fluid in and I still have what sounds to be like a throw out bearing at idle and when accelerating from a low rpm in second I get an awful sounds that sounds like a chatter and the engine noise is extremely loud. Any advice on this? I already have 700 miles on the clutch.

I too have this exact set up. South Bend SS Stage 2 with the wilwood HD slave/master cyl. I think I put RedLine fluid in mine, but either way good stuff. There is supposed to be some chatter, and on certain days the chatter just sounds worse than others. Weither the engine is hotter, or colder, not sure why that is. And I have probably around 6-7K miles on my clutch and flywheel.

I just find it odd that when it's cold I hear no chatter at all but once the tranny warms up it gets loud when bogged down

IIRC, the chatter comes from single mass flywheels. Put your stock flywheel back in, and the chatter should be reduced, if not eliminated.

This.I have about the about the same set up, 19 lbs flywheel but not the silent design.

About the same mileage too.I had Motul but switched to Redline.

OP ,your supposed to keep the revs up,if you bogging often, your shifting too early.

Your shift points will change with this set up, you will relearn and it will feel and sound fine after
your used to it.

Also the noise shouldnt be awful, to be honest my set up is extremely quiet regarding chatter.



Here is vid of mine with about 100 miles on it...barely any chatter,and this was with Motul.
