In Reply To Clutch Question. 6 puck vs. stock version.... posted by Chazz on May 22, 2001 at 12:18 AM
     
Message The stock clutch plate has no pucks, just a single disk. Here's a stock clutch sitting on a stock flywheel.

A 6-puck clutch plate looks more like a star with friction pads on each point of the star. Here's a 5-puck clutch plate and a pressure plate.

and here's a 6-puck with pressure plate, stock flywheel and light weight flywheel.

Taking off smoothly from a starting start is much easier with a stock clutch. A 6-puck clutch will tend to grab the flywheel when you let the peddle out where the stock clutch will slip a bit.

I have a 6-puck clutch in my TT and it's a daily driver. You just have to be a lot more precise with your clutch release. It takes a bit of practice to get right.

Cheers,
Ian
