Sounds like it could be a leaking rear crank seal. Oil on the clutch. I just replaced both front and rear seals. Same problem. Be sure though, the engine needs to come out, and the bottom end removed.

I had similar problem turned out great the bell at trans and drive shaft was stiff and needed to be lubed

Patrick, Usually a chatter is experienced in 1st gear or reverse. Typically 2nd and 3rd smooth out. You may need to adjust the throw-out bearing out or in a bit, also be sure your idle setting is not

Jim, That looks outstanding! Brett Wright

Dave Anspach has those measurements. He will probably see this post at some point.

Mike, I have some for a SS I can send you if that helps. I took them a few years back for the antenna placement but the Super emblem is in the pics too.

I would like to get the measurements for the location if HotShot side emblems. Thanks 😊
