shake rattle, then roll

[cooler198]

1972 Bronco 3 speed with 3:50's and 32" tires. As i begin to release the clutch the entire truck shakes enough to loosen my teeth. Is this clutch chatter or something else any info would be helpfull. I am planning on putting a centerforce clutch in it soon anyway.

Sure sounds like clutch chatter to me. Does the chatter go away when the clutch is fully engaged?

Ditto Astro, and the pilot bearing in the crank is probably shot too.

Yea thanks guys the chatter goes away when the clutch is fully engaged, and i do plan on replacing all related parts. Thanks again!

If it's been chattering for awhile, you will probably need to have the flywheel machined to remove any warps or grooves. Good luck!
