[eklips3]

hey guys , im just wondering how does it feel to drive with a 6 puck solid clutch disk .

i just got one and i want to know what to expect once i throw it in .

its gonna be stiff as f*ck i have a RPS clutch thats rated 430lb its very stiff but easy to drive you let it out slightly the car starts to grab. i've driven on a CC stage 5 clutch same thing but tends to be very jerky for street driving

Biggest question is what kind of pressure plate are you working with?

As for the 6 puck, it's not that bad for street driving. My first two street/track cars had a 6 puck and a 3 puck heavy pressure plate. You'll stall in traffic a couple times or get a few jerky starts but you'll get used to it because it's worth it when you're clutch kicking into a 3rd gear bank.

+1 on good clutches like the RPS, i have a nismo coppermix and love it, grabs hard and has an almost stock pedal feel.

6 pucks have a really high grab and very on and off or very low play tolerance. Full face is a little more forgiving where you have more play room to have smooth engagement.

I driven on both RPS turbo max 6 puck and Street disc.... Street disc for sure. The 6 puck is a little tricky but grabs like crazy... 6 pucks won't last you as long as well.

i have the ACT heavy duty pressure plate. the 6 puck is ACT as well .

i initially ordered the full face street disk , but when i received the package in the mail , i saw a solid 6 puck clutch disk.. so i guess it might be a good thing because i dont wanna send it back .. i just wanna start driving my car !

Yah you can drive, but your clutch isn't going to last long. Its not worth it... get a full face disc for street....

ive got a "custom" 6 puck with the stock plate (was made by local shop) and it was fine.

It definitely puts alot of pressure on your kneecaps while keeping the pedal in,lots of resistance there with the upgraded pressure plate, just get used to it,you'll have a huge left leg soon enough.

i dont know about it not lasting long.. ive had the same act xtreme pressure plate and 6 puck solid disk in my car for 4 years now.. i pulled my tranny a year ago to replace my rear main seal and id say from the looks of it it could go another 3+ years.. i think it all depends on how you drive with the clutch. if you try to ride the clutch out youre going to wear the shit out of it.. i think the key is to learn how to drive with the LEAST amout of riding the clutch as you can.

Well there is less surface area in general for a 6 puck, but eh whatever. 6 pucks put a lot of stress on the tranny too....

For your 6 puckers, does it catch fairly high? Like around 1/2 up?

[d r i f t swift]

i think it depends on the pressure plate and where you have the clutch adjusted. but my xtreme plate does seem to grab 1/2 and up. but once you get past that halfway point it just pops out. which is why i think i learned to drive my car like that, and was basically forced to learn how to drive the car with minimal riding of the clutch haha

Yup, I noticed that too, same here.... Oh wellz chalk it up to the attributes of a 6 pucker
