is a 6 puck clutch?
i need to order a clutch tonight and i cant decide between the act 6 puck and the street disc....
the 6 puck is cheaper and holds more torque, but i hear the street disc has a very smooth engagement. how does a 6 puck clutch hold up compared to a street disc?

what do you think about the fidanza flywheel also?
and are the 5 and 6 speed flywheels the same?

thanks a lot

 

Flywheel is a waste IMHO but if you have the cash go for it. The 6 puck will engage a lot more "Grabbier" the street disc still has the springs in it.

 

accually i was just checking out gruppe-s and i saw they have their flywheel with a act hd street disc for a really good price...
i think i might go with that accually

anyone have one?

 

6 puck is not a fun dd

 

many do
just be aware of the over 7k shift lockout that might occur

 

can you explain this to me a little better?

 

i am also thinking about ACT 6-puck sprung clutch........very much interested on how it drivers. Would it hold 500+ whp and how much torque does it hold. Thanks.

 

I DD my 6puck and I love it.. Dont get a sprung clutch!!!!! They make no difference except thesprings will fall out leaving holes in the disc which will cause the disc to shatter! ACT themselves told my friend with an sti not to get the sprung clutch!! I also have a fidanza lightened flywheel, and its been fine till a week ago when my starter decided to rip out a couple teeth.. Oh well.. Ill change it when they are all gone! haha

 

this has been discussed. All you have to do is adjust the clutch.

ACT is absolutely the best bang for your buck. Many people here in Vegas have ran it including myselt and have had no problems with it.

The 6 puck is very annoying for dd. It will engage rough and chatter a lot. if you're gonna be doing a lot of drag racing I would advise staying away from this clutch.

ACT will engage like stock, smooth.

 

i have the act sprung 6 puck w/ stock flywheel. i like it so far. i have experienced the lock out once so far. i have yet to adjust the pedal to see if that helps.

 

NO, it won't. And if it does it won't be for long. At the very least with that much power I would look into a twin disc set-up

 

Dont see how it wouldnt hold.. This is the clucth I have installed right now..

Description: ACT Evolution VIII Xtreme Duty 6 Puck Clutch
[ACT MB7-XTG6]


Torque Capacity: 726 ft/lbs

Clamp Load Increase: 54%

This Clutch is NOT Recommended for street use.

 

I was thinking of the other 6 puck.

I had an Exedy 6 puck in my 05 and it lasted about 3k miles.

Threw in an ACT and it took way more abuse and way more launches

 

^^ So your saying in your earllier post an act wont handle it.. But then saying it was better than your exedy 6 puck and took more abuse??? Not trying to start an arguement, just confused on where you stand..

 

Sorry, let me clarify:

I had and exedy stage 3, 6 puck clutch VIII. The thing was horrible for daily driving. It chatered and made all kinds of noises. Then it went out at 3k miles. So much for an $800 clutch

My next clutch was the ACT HD street disc. And IMHO, it's the best freakin daily driver/track clutch for your money. Granted you don't want to be running a crap load of power and beating the crap out of it everyday all day.

But, this thing was freakin great and I'm still running one in my IX right now.

Does that help?
