'09 Focus SE w/19K Mi. & clutch chatter

[bombergp]

I'm not too happy now, I've enjoyed driving this bugger since new but now not only will it chatter on take off but on the upshift to 2nd also! This ain't my first stick shift car, have twenty years experience with clutch & stick shift driving. Longest I drove car w/stick shift was 130,000mi. from new 1973 V6 Capri 4spd, even when I sold that it didn't chatter! Can't be me, I do drive fast but I'm not redlining it! What are some better clutch mfgers. for this car, Centerforce?

Is this car still covered by a warrenty?
You should beable to get a replacement while yours is bring fixed.

I have warranty coverage but usually clutches are not covered and brake linings also.

This reply is late but the Chatter issue got resolved earlier this year when car was brought in for belt screech when turning steering wheel to right. They found the right side motor mount was leaking oil, replaced it and no more clutch chatter! The belt screech was a bad rack/pinion unit they replaced too, all under warranty, all is good again!
