Slight clutch chatter

[Purdy Swoft]

I don't think so !!! Any real model A mechanic will tell you, if the tip of the input shaft is worn very much it will cause the transmission to jump out of high gear. I can't imagine the tip of the input shaft being worn enough to cause clutch chatter. Theory can be all over the place but If the pilot bearing and input shaft was worn enough to cause clutch chatter, you probably wouldn't be able to keep it in high gear. It may have oil on the clutch or it may not actually be clutch chatter at all. Sometimes without the original solid rear motor mounts the engine will slightly jump around apon take off and this chatter is often reffered to as clutch chatter. Model A's dont have the anti chatter rods like the early V8' s and with closed drive the hole drivetrain will float if float-a-motor mounts are used.
