I have zero problems driving it, but in reverse you don't want to be stepping on the gas all the time, I like how the MX6 just goes smoothly. Idle is 650RPMS (stock standard).
What's clutch chatter btw? I do have a HD clutch... maybe it's that?

Re: Stalling - Lightweight flywheel problem?
Having a aftermarket race clutch will have a affect on what your talking about and make the engagement very "jumpy" or rough.
**Copied off a website**
Clutch Chatter is A high coefficient of friction, bad motor mounts, an incorrectly machined flywheel or faulty pressure plate, spring-centered race disc (aggravates chatter), and contamination (oil, grease, or rust).
Chatter is basically the engine winding up in the mounts as the clutch is engaging and then bouncing off the mounts, disengaging the clutch for a brief moment before engaging again and winding up again. No matter how aggressive a clutch is that would normally chatter severely on a normal street car, it generally won't chatter at all on a car with solid mounts and a rigid disc because there is no wind-up effect.

Re: Stalling - Lightweight flywheel problem?
I actually read that quoted part somewhere after you had mentioned chatter. The descriptions seem to be exactly what I am getting. I don't have solid mounts, they are just stock. I can feel the engine shake too when it does this.
I'm pretty sure we got everything right with the clutch installation and we used lots of new parts (throwout bearings, machined the flywheel, etc).
I wonder if I should fill the mounts and see how it goes? Is it hard to get the mounts off while the engine is in?

Re: Stalling - Lightweight flywheel problem?
Yeah like the description says it could be something like a greasy fingerprint that you accidentally put on the clutch disk or flywheel when installing it.
I would look into the motor mounts ASAP, the front motor mount is a breeze with the motor in the car. The rear is gonna be the pain in the a--, depending on the direction the through bolt is pointing. LOL but still doable.

It's broken in, over 1500 kms on it now.
Hmm mounts seem like the first thing I should try.
