4 Puck 6 Puck Question..
I'm sorry if this has been covered, but I haven't been able to locate the thread...I was just wondering what the differences are between 4 Puck and 6 Puck, and which would be better?? Or is a, depending on it's use type choice?? Modding a manual tranny is still new to me, so I'm willing to accept any help ya'll can hook me up with. Thanks..

4puck will grab REALLy quick and break your neck as oposed to a 6 puck. So... it's not the easiest thing in the world to drive around in stop and go traffic.

simple answer, you don't want either... those are generally racing clutches, the theory goes like this... they grip super hard so that they don't break while racing. with a six, you probably will get wheel spin with every take off, with a four you def will.
just get a good standard clutch

I guess it depends on what engine you have too.

ugh...
a 4/6puck in its self does not make it a raceing clutch. alot of that has to due with what type of hub(sprung/solid) and what material its made with.
a sold face clutch(like the spec "+"line) are able to hold just as much if not more then a "puck" style clutch.
a puck style will always grab harder at the start but thats a bad thing for every day driveing.

I didn't have any fitment issues that I am aware of. If my tranny blows I'll know otherwise.

I have the FX300 which is just below a 6-puck. It's great for normal driving, and grips like a ****! I was the one who started that 15 page post with issues, but CM fixed them all, so everyone else won't have to go through what I did!
