The stiffer the engine is tied down from fore and aft motion, the less susceptible it is to clutch chatter. My '41 has the chatter/torque rods connecting the bell housing to the front cross member, It also has all new mounts and a clean clutch disk, and I have no chatter problem.

I once had a '48 with no chatter rods, and it had a big chatter problem. I replaced the motor and transmission mounts, which helped. Then I went back and really tightened down on the mounts to stiffen and resist engine motion. That helped a lot more. The problem was not completely resolved until I replaced the clutch disk, which had gotten oil on it.
