Unhappy Help! driving tip needed

I just had a Spec Stage 2 clutch and fidanza aluminum flywheel installed in my 95 z28. This is the first aftermarket clutch i have ever driven. It chatters horribly in traffic or parking lots. They only way it feels smooth is if i give it more gas and jump off the clutch. Is there anyway i can get it to drive smoothly from a slow start??

Re: Help! driving tip needed

That's strange, I always thought the stg. 2 was more of a smooth performance clutch. Flywheel may be making it worse though... you could try just letting the clutch out at idle speeds- give it just enough gas so it doesn't stall- don't try to accelerate until the cluth pedal is all the way out. It's a technique I use on the Corolla beater I drive, since after 180k miles the clutch is starting to chatter, trying to save it till I'm out of school next mo.

You can also raise the rpms and let the clutch out slower, I'd recommend that if you want to take off fast, but not all the time- not only will people look at you like you don't know how to drive stick but your clutch will wear out faster.
