So I was at Brothersperformance and looking at clutches. I've been told Ram makes reliable ones. I was looking at the 1994-2004 Mustang V6 Power Grip Kevlar Clutch Kit, when I read that it may cause slight chatter at low RPMs. What the heck does that mean?

Chatter is usually caused by either broken Clutch plate springs or worn out clutch.

Kevlar, while great for wear and high stress, does not engage smoothly. It's either engaged or not engaged. Chatter is what happens when the clutch disc skips on the surface of the flywheel/clutch plate. It could be a simple sound you hear or it could cause a very annoying jittery/jerky feeling at low speeds when your easy on the clutch or trying to feather it.

Thanks for the reply. Ok then, if the kevlar does not engage smoothly, it doesnt sound like something I want. I need/woul like something that is smooth, and is going to go well with my application. I will be getting a 4.2L Stroker kit, and eventually a single turbo setup.
