help...chattering after clutch/flywheel install?

hey guys...just installed exedy stage 2 and act prolite flywheel....now after 100 so miles and after being stuck in stop and go traffic unintentionally on the highway, i noticed a chattering sound coming from the tranny/clutch area....only does it at idle and revving lightly....driving down the road and shifting is great...is this normal?...part of the break in process?...or do i need to rip it all apart again...btw...it didnt do this before i hit the stop n go traffic...

I wanna say its part of the break in process, but if it starts getting worse or you still feel it after 500 or so miles I would reconsider how well the job was done. It could be as simple as a bad fluid bleed or misaligned clutch.

2 things make sure things are tight and make sure the clutch is not too tight. If too tight the throw out bearing will wear out prematurely. But I suspect that was new also. Maby it was the stop and go. Good luck!
