So my Six puck is finally broken it to my new fidanza. Basically it doesn't need to be broken in but it does get better over time.


I have a Sprung six puck, a 2500 Pound pressure plate which I believe has a different pivote pound so the pedal pressure is FAR less then a ACT 2600, and it is. ANd a Brand new Fidanza Flywheel.


AT first it was hard to take off from a stop, would chatter like crazy at anything under 300RPMS, so I would slip to 400 grand get moving, then BANG, clucth grabs and I am off. NOW after about 300+ miles of traffic stop and go driving in miami, I believe my Flywheel heat sheild has finally been broken it, No more chattering, got less and less, and now I can take off liek a stock clutch, only now it really grabs HARD, and still bangs the car at WOT shifts. THE flwheel does drop your RPMs faster but it is good as by the time you shift, your right at the beginning of your powerband once again. This clucth just owns, it feels just like stock after break in. The springs in the sprung disk are still noisey after deceleration but is slowly going away.


Another amazing thing about this clutch is that you can SLIP the six puck if you desire, if not just drop it and it wil hold tigher then anything, break your center diff before it lets go. It will still chatter if I try a real slow take off but entirely avoidable.



AS far as streetable, as streetable as a Stock clutch and infinately easier then a ACT 2600, feel more like a 2100, and should nopt help out crank walk any.

I love this clutch, cost me $300 from EBAY+ shipping so $318 all together, brandnew, with TO bearings (non Mitsu) and the alignment tool, what a gem of a clutch, you should consider one of these over som e acks if you want a Metalic clutch that is sprung for a good price and longevity, it should last 40,000 Miles with proper care, and 2500 with a six puck is plenty of grab.
 
Again this should be a clucth to try. A six puck that is entirely streetable is just money, here is a Nice Pick of the Sprung six puck, which should be an OXY Moron.

The pressure plates range from 2200 to 2700. I was lucky enought o get the 2500 pound unit but you really only need a 2200 pound with a six puck as it grabs more with the friction rather then the massive pressure, but I have both and some room to slip. I find myself spinning wheels, even at Low speed and Low RPMS, if I suddenly engauge, methinks I will need a LSD soon. MY AWD did not come with one:cry: .


Instalation is just as easy as any other, even easier with a Fidanza cuz you don't have to surface it as it is allready perfect. It works great with the FIdanza unit, has to wearin the Heat Sheild on the Fidanza to get rid of teh Chatter, takes about a week of normal driving. But with the quick revs I get now and the clamp, it is just tap, 4000 BAM I am off so much quicker and confidant then with the stocker, it jsut grabs, no funky smeel, no smoke out the side, just grabs. It should last longer then the street disks unless I murder it at the track, then who knows.

I give it :thumb: Worth every Penny and can be over %100 cheaper then the next competitior.
