The Ford Barn

The pilot bearing was replaced. The flywheel was resurfaced twice by competent machine shops. The chatter starts when I let up on the clutch, engaging the flywheel. If I let up slowly, the chatter is the worst. If I let it up faster and drive right off, It's not as noticeable. I have the adjustment just right. There is enough play. The pressure plate is nos and everything else has been replaced. The clutch fork and throw out bearing are also new (different from Mercury). Everything appears tight and straight. There is some play in the rear end, but no noises from any bearings. This Ford idles smooth and runs great OTHERWISE! I appreciate all information from you folks.
