OK, so new shop... They find out the throw out bearing was installed improperly by the first shop
, why I like doing things myself. Brand new clutch plate, flywheel, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing are installed by shop #2 (shop #1 is giving me all my money back if I give them back the parts they installed). Clutch peddle pressure and engagement are now how they were originally, which is a good thing. Problem is, the peddle still must be pushed against the floor for full disengagement. I put in a new master cylinder and shop #2 replaced the slave cylinder and bled the lines. Is this probably just because of a little air left in the lines? Also, and more importantly, when starting from a stop the clutch still chatters during engagement, both vibration and noise. Is it normal for a new clutch to chatter for the first few hundred miles? I did notice that the pressure plate installed by shop #1 had three hot spots on it and don't know if hot stops on shop #2's clutch could be causing the chatter. Thanks again for the help, I am about to loose my mind on this.
