Yesterday I indicated in the three fingers and shimmed the pivots to get them all within 0.005" of each other. They started out at -0.030, -0.020, and 0.000. This required cutting the appropriate thickness brass shim stock (I've got an assortment). Kind of like flywheel housing shims. I got it all bolted up today and went for a drive, and there is no more chatter! Smooth as can be. I was afraid that the repro clutch disk was contributing to the problem, but it appears to be fine. So it appears that inconsistent finger heigth can be a source of clutch chatter.
