Hey guys I did some browsing of the search function but couldn't really find anything that pertains to exactly what I'm experiencing, so here it is:

I just got my car back from a transmission shop that replaced the clutch, syncros, and bearings. Yet for some reason, I have incredible clutch chatter starting from a stop in 1st gear, and even downshifts and some upshifts. Not only this, but the "Service Engine Soon" light just came on. I am at a loss, any help is greatly appreciated.

I've heard from some that clutches can have a "break in" period where they are grabby and chatter, but I have been driving on this for almost a week and it hasn't gotten any better. The noise is terrible!

'03 Performance, 50,000 miles
Catback Y exhaust + intake are the only aftermarket parts.

 

Get the code read then take it back to the transmission place and ask them why your car would be throwing a code as a result of their work.

 

Thanks I set up an appointment to take it in tomorrow morning... pretty annoying though to have waited 2 weeks and get it back in this kind of shape.

 

Its the senser on the flywheel

 

That does make sense - do you think it only comes on when there is a lot of chattering, because it's off now and hasn't come back on (there has also been less chatter)

 

Are you referring to actual clutch chatter or just a rattling noise?

There is a difference and different causes for each.

 

I'm pretty sure it's clutch chatter because there is only noise while I am releasing the clutch, not under acceleration, idle, deceleration, or any other time.
