<![CDATA[Does any body use a pucked clutch]]>I was looking at getting an ACT 4 puck clutch, but I would like to know if anybody drives these around the streets, and how difficult it is and shit. Like if i am sitting on a hill can I easily sit there and go up the hill like normal or does it engage so harsh that there will be trouble doing that. Thanks in advance.

How many pucks were on the clutch? If there are less than 6 I would ditch it just because it will continue to be a pain in the ass. 6 pucks are livable, but not what I am personally looking for anymore.

That or I'm getting old and I'd just rather deal with street discs. 🙂

Thanks please fill me in on this.

I have a pucked clutch in my integra right now that I'm too lazy to pull out that I can slip like a street disc. That's not right either. 🙂

It is something I am going to have to decide here.

Pucked clutches engage hard enough that they can break differentials, axles, etc. That is why I myself am switching back to a street disc. There is no way to "preload" the drivetrain with a pucked clutch and that is what tends to break shit.

The pucked clutch is real intersting though, I havnt killed it yet, drove around for like an hour in heavy traffic, but it does chatter a bunch if you dont do things just right, it is really great when you are on it and shifting through the gears, I dont mind the chatter ness, I just worry that it is breaking something, it just sounds bad sometimes.... Is there anything that can break cuz of that? thanks.

Having only run pucked clutches in my life (other than when I had my DSM, and even then I made the mistake to try a sprung 6 puck) I am in the process of completely switching away from them. They are too violent engagement wise, and I would rather deal with replacing discs once and awhile than to snapping other drivetrain pieces.

But for some reason it doesnt come with a throw out bearing (as far as I know) I will order a factory thorw out bearing then from toyota for a MR2 and we will see how it goes, thanks for your opinion and help.

As for that clutch, if its indeed a true trd product, I wouldnt be scared of it....have you found a plate for it yet?

I hope you dont plan on trying to slip that one........

If you are cheap just remember to grease it up again..that shit gets annoying real fast.

Any thought on this?

The less rotating mass bullshit....lift both at the same time. An organic is not exactly heavy by any means. Unless you are counting every ounce(obviously your show car is not) or pushing 3000ft lbs of torque..I would not buy a pucked clutch, especially not a four puck.

I want a 4 puck, because of less rotating wieght and they say if you have a smaller disk that a 4 puck is alright, I only drive my car when i fuck around with it on the streets, I dont do any dayily driving ya know... but i am in traffic somtimes and whatever. So more info would be great. I would like to know before teh end of the night if that is possible, thanks. I have to make a quick desision, becuase I got my new tranny and i need to know if i feel like getting a new clutch too. btw, I had a custom tranny built with custom gears, a new 4.2 final drive and a helical TRD LSD just thought i would throw that in there so u would know what we are dealing with, thanks

The 6 pucks are definately an on/off switch. I'm used to driving them now where it really isn't a problem, however it is always interesting watching someone who has never driven one hop in and try and drive it.

If I was you, I would just buy a regular street disc.
