You wouldn't believe how much this thing chattered……

No impact absorber springs in the clutch hub?

Did you conclude that "zealous over-greasing" was the cause of this chatter?

Hey there! It is! Or, it was! How's the truck driving out of storage?

Colin, see above. :joker: It was a combination of grease on the plate, the non-spring disc, and a slack-ish bowden tube.

Let us know if it was the left side that has the horrid wheel cylinder leak and what the brand of the wheel cylinder is.
