First, I have a 1956 T-Bird that has a clutch that chatters when engagaing. My concern is that the Ford "Y" block engines has a rear seal that is prone to leaking. Would a leaky rear seal cause the clutch to chatter? If it could, what can be done to correct the problem without a bottom end rebuild? Any advice would be appreciated.

Either the leak or the pressure plate or clutch disc is bad. As far as the seal, it will need replaced if it is bad.
