Clutch Chatter

Can the clutch chatter when the trans is in neutral by increasing RPM then letting off the gas just between 675 and 1500 RPMs
Any help is greatly appreciated

If you still have a dual mass flywheel then Yes. It may be clutch time, get a single mass.
There many here that have an opinion on the best one. They should be along to give you more advice.
I've replaced a couple but don't drive one on a regular basis so I wouldn't know.

Thanks for the help and knowledge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solid flywheel replacement is the only way to fix this annoying problem.

I would go SMF as well but if you are interested I have a new in box clutch for the DMF. I will even throw the DMF in there for free if you want it.

Thanks Neal but if the SMF is that much better like a lot of you say then I'd go with that especially if it lasts longer plus works better too. Well I don't know much about the DMF anyways really except for what I read in here.
Thanks for the offer though I'm already changing out the fuel pump as well.
Just curiousity how much would you be asking?
