Thanks for the response Tom. I know the discoloration isn’t the issue. I just thought it was worth noting. I should probably update my old thread. That’s where a member suggested there may have been excessive heat in the old disc that caused the discoloration, an assessment I agreed with. I guess that’s not the case since the new one also has that.

I’m a little disappointed I didn’t get to test your recommendation on blasting the surface but I was unsure about that chip I found in the old disc and thought it was a better option to replace the disc and PP since it’s not a lot of money. In retrospect, after looking at the new disc, I suspect I would’ve been fine to run the old disc.

Curious to see if I still have chatter. Last year I changed the pilot bushing and throwout bearing. This year I installed a new flywheel (unplanned), new clutch disc and pressure plate. Unrelated I also replaced a worn transmission mount. Everything is back together but I haven’t had time to test drive it yet.
