Your rear shock absorber links may have been damaged or loosened. The rear axle has to be properly secured to the car to prevent clutch chatter with the torque tube driveline.

Check your front and rear motor mounts. They may have become soft from oil saturation or age. Make sure the mounts are secure.

The Fort Wayne clutch installed ~7,000 miles ago in the '47 (59AB), which was buttery smooth for basically all of these miles, has developed a noticeable '1st & reverse' chatter reminiscent of the original clutch in the car. The car was just two weeks ago removed from winter storage on jack stands in the garage (last driven in a Christmas Parage before Thanksgiving) and the chatter mysteriously appeared on the first drive. No change in oil loss from the rear seal. And have not found it to get better or worse with higher or lower temps and/or humidity. It's not so bad that I cannot live with it, but after these miles and years of smooth operation it is more than annoying & bothersome. Thoughts on cause and possible simple correction measures (meaning short of pulling the engine again and installing a new clutch/pressure plate) are appreciated.
