I looked this afternoon and don't see an inspection cover to check the spring.
To me it has all the signs of the flywheel. Does vibrate and shudder on take off also clutch pedal plusates. Shifting is not good on downshift. I bet it's the dang flywheel. Either it wasn't surfaced correctly or not at all.
Bought the new parts and paid 997.00 in labor. I am sick. I hope the anti rattle spring is off but I am afraid not.

on my 50 when engaging it would chatter something terrible and also i could feel a vibration and if i kept pushing the clutch in and out while driving it would eventually get better i had that clutch apart 3 times before the fellow at the machine shop figured it out the first time i took it apart i had a shop where they did it on a resurface table didn’t work so i found out but the milling machine was the answer
