act 2100(6puck)

does anyone use this for street? i came across a good deal on a new one. the act site says "not recommended for street use" because of harsh engagement or something. just curious if anyone uses it or not. thanks guys

as long as its a "sprung" 6 puck you will be fine.

I wouldnt recommend running a puck disc if you still have an OEM flywheel. Just my .02

Wendy is correct you should get a new flywheel if you plan to run this as a daily driver, but also i have been running an act 2100 for a few thousand miles now with stock flyweel and no issues yet.

what about a resurfaced stock flywheel with an act2100?

would that eat up the clutch or just be harder to drive?

I am interested in this too. Why is it bad to run a 6 puck with a stock flywheel?

 

[95GST2841]

can somebody answer this please... probably buying this piece today

 

[sbcxtreme]

looks like im going to pass on this and just go with a streetdisc then. thanks everybody

Yes you can run the OEM with a street disc. A puck disc will destroy an OEM flywheel. May have to get the flywheel stepped, but I would strongly suggest a street disc with a OEM flywheel.

Can you tell me why a 6 puck will destroy a stock flywheel? Please explain. Thanks

Can anyone explain please?

The aggresive friction material tears up the surface on the flywheel. Same thing any clutch does, it just does it MUCH quicker.

 

[jking29]

OK, well that makes a little more sense. Any aggressive clutch will create more wear, I just couldn't figure out why she was singling out just the 6 puck. I am getting ready to put a sprung hub 6 puck in my car and her statement made me a little nervous.

I bought my car with an ACT with a 6 puck and an OEM flywheel. I don't know if it was the setup or what but I would have a lot of chatter when I would take off. In case you don't know chatter is, it feels like wheel hop when you are just trying to take off. You can get used to the clutch and have it engage smoothly, but if you slip up your car will throw you around a little. I would not recommend getting it. Just get a street disk. And when I finally changed out the clutch, I had to get a new flywheel because mine was gone.
