Clutch Chatter fixed

Hi Everyone:
Just an FYI, I just had a service done at my local Mazda Dealer, and mentioned the "Clutch chatter" I had read about in this Forum, they knew exactly what I was talking about, and replaced the Clutch assembly under warranty. when I took it in I was not really having any major issues with the clutch except abrupt engagement/disengagement sometimes. Now it is much smoother, and almost needs no gas to get it rolling from a stop.
Go get it! It is worth it just for the clutch replacement free of charge!

Aftermarket Clutch

If you're getting an aftermarket clutch, change the flywheel, plate and cover - all are defective and are replaced during the fix. If you just change the plate, you're inviting problems.

What clutch, flywheel, plate and cover do you recommend? I have 18,500 miles on my Speed and the clutch is already going. I heard that some Mazda dealers will authorize and sell upgraded clutches, etc?
