I don't know of any 3 puck pressure plate for a 4g63. They have 3 puck clutch discs, so I'm assuming that is what you are talking about. The pressure plate pushes the clutch disc to the clutch when you let out the clutch pedal. I'm not sure how much they cost seperately, they usually come in a kit with a clutch disc. The PP/disc/throw out bearing combo usually run anywhere from 300 on up from most vendors on this site. A pressure plate with a higher clamping force over stock will make sure your clutch won't slip when you start pouring on more power and get into more launches.

As for the difference between stock, 3, and 6 pucks...thats all in the design of the clutch disc. A stock disc is a complete circle, a 3 puck has 3 friction points, and a 6 puck has 6. I wouldn't recommend anything but a complete clutch disc as the pucked ones tend to chatter and grab kinda funny. Its putting more stress on our already fragile transmissions.
