Default Barnett Scorpion Clutch Chatter

2018 FLHXS put a Barnett Scorpion clutch in with Barnett basket and am getting awful clutch chatter. I can rock the scorpion pressure plate by hand and the clutch plates will rock back and forth. Tried several oils Bel-Ray Gearsaver 75w, Redline primary, Mobil 1 4T. Drives good no slipping just at idle with clutch out it chatters, pull clutch in and it stops. Got any ideas?

Stock 107 with Baker comp and M8 chain adjuster.

No doubt Redline primary sucks, Gearsaver was best so far but still chatters.

I have been running Scorpion clutch and Barnett basket, Baker comp with stock adjuster and 75w Gearsaver oil since May and it holds great. It rattles like an old tractor, neutral rattle is terrible also has bad decel clutch plate rattle, talked with Barnett "3" times and was told each time that it is normal noise. I run it the way I want and it's still working as good as the day installed, maybe rattle is good, we will see. I can't make it slip and I have tried.
