While you are changing gears, or while you let the clutch out?

when letting the clutch out.

Put a couple of washers between the bowden tube and the bracket on the gearbox sidecover to give the tube more bend.
A solid center clutch disc is more prone to this type of chatter. Consider a spring center disc next time the engine's out.

I had added 2 washers when i changed the cable about a month ago, took one washer out today and there is no more chatter .
Thanks

Check all your transmission mounts and see if they are split 2 rear one center front,it sounds to me like your front trans mount shit the bed!

Hey Schveng , its not really about .... one washer for this... two washers for that . Its about getting a good bend in the bowden tube so that any movement of the trans will not have an effect on the operation of the clutch. Otherwise it starts a brutal back and forth cycle (chatter). Could also be a combo of many things
