I have a RAM 900 twin disc and it rattles when the clutch pedal is in. Did you use the fiber and steel spacers or all steel spacers? I did it both ways and they both rattle but the fiber mixed with steel is a lot less noise then all steel was. With all steel spacers the noise was like the transmission was rattling apart.

All RAM twin discs will do this. It is part of the design. When you have the clutch in the discs are free to move about.

I've got this same clutch and yes - it does make a horrendous noise (like marbles rattling in a tin can) when the clutch pedal is depressed. The noise is the floater plate vibrating.

I've been told that the noise level is greatly reduced if the ceramic spacers are used in lieu of the steel ones, but I don't know if this is a fact...:shrug:
