clutch question

I was having clutch problems so my friend and I took it off and found out that a piece broke off of the clutch disc. It's a 6 puck disc from spec. Whoever had the car before me put the spec on and I don't really wanna buy spec again. The pressure plate and fly wheel are in good condition so I don't need to buy a whole new clutch. Will any 6 puck disc work or do I specifically HAVE to buy spec? Thanks guys

If it all came together like that then that's how its supposed to stay/work together... I would just get new parts and avoid doing the work twice.. but hope an expert jumps in

Definitely wanna replace everything. Don't mix and match. You could get the GMPP clutch setup for a reasonable price from Crate Engine Depot. Take the flywheel to a shop and see if its worth resurfacing otherwise replace that too. I think ZZP has good deals on new ones.

I know there have been quite a few mixed reviews of ky clutches in general but I personally have had zero issues with my kys3. I really don't know if it's due to inconsistancies with the clutch itself, incorrect installation issues, failure to break in the clutch propperly or some combination there of. All I know is that mine has been great for the year that I've been using it so far. I did have some minor chatter and howl during the breakin of the clutch but that's really pretty common for a 6 puck with a relatively aggressive disk and heavy pressure plate. After about 500-1000 miles have never had an issues since. That's just my. 02.
