Here's a puzzle (or perhaps merely a trivial pursuit) for you expert
mechanics.  What can cause clutch chatter in a front wheel drive Datsun?
It's a quiet chain-rattling sound that comes in at about 2500 RPM (and
above), in any gear, whether the clutch is engaged or not.  The clutch
plate was replaced about 8K miles ago at about 57K miles.  The operation
of the clutch is otherwise normal; there seems to be no slippage.  The
noise is just a nuisance (so far!).

Please mail responses if you can reach me, and I'll summarize.
Thanks in advance.
