We did two other cars as well and it seems to be very touchy with cars that stay with stock flywheels. The other one got new competition clutch flywheel and didnt have the shifting problems.

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
i just installed the stage 4 with and unsprung 6 puck and i just took it for a drive right nowand it works flawless! we also used their flywheel. that is probably the problem! i am sponsored by CC and i am not trying to make my sponsor look better just speaking the truth. also chris the person who posted this thread he is one of my customers and i recomended he used there flywheel! it worked well for me i hope this can clear up some of the problems! guy dont mix and match different parts from different clutch companys!

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
I had a CC 6 puck iron disk with the upgraded pressure plate. At first i loved it but after a few track passes it would start to slip every few runs. Then it just started slipping every pass. I went with a Spec stage 5 and havent looked back.

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
We probably sell 100+ comp single disc clutches a year. I install a good amount of them, and I never have the issues. I think the biggest question with people that are having the issues is have you adjusted the clutch pedal throw at all? I usually have to adjust it to get the correct throw so the clutch fully disengages on shifts, otherwise I have had lock out on shifting. Its something that is pretty basic, but most people over look it.

Jeff how would you know where the optimal point of adjustment is? especially on a cable tranny?

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
Trial and error. Adjust the clutch pedal until you get clean shifts. If you adjust both ways and there is no difference, the pressure plate could be warped, bent or there is an issue with the slave cylinder/master/air in the line.

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
I HAVE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WITH THIS WORTHLESS CLUTCH. So here i am driving my car home from tampa with a couple of friends then all of a sudden i hear a loud popping noise, soon after that my clutch felt weird it engaged almost near the floor and when i would press the throttle and gain sum torque the clutch would slip and i was like isnt this suppose to be a stage four so i get home park my car and in the morning go to remove my tranny when i see a puddle of tranny fluid i proceed to remove my tranny and when i do i see a horror story. There was a hole the about 1/2 an inch indiameter along with the inside of my clutch housing burnt up with tranny fuid and also the iside of the clutch housing had gashes. one of the bolts that held the presure plate to the flywheel had cracked and mashed up all my inside and even damaging the pressure plate clutch i found the culprit bolt all mashed up hanging half way stuck inbeteen the trannt and clutch cover i will have pics of it soon i thought i was the only one with a problem from such a ckutch being stage 4 and all

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
For the guys having this problem, where is the pedal when the clutch engauges? You will want to adjust it to where it engauges a little ways off of the floor. If yours is right on the floor, you may not be disengauging the clutch all of the way, or it could be that you are having to push the pedal down so far that your hand is trying to jam it in gear before your foot gets down far enough to disengauge the clutch or if the pedal is too low, you may not be fully disengauging it enough for it to slip into gear.With all of that being said, there are several other reasons that could cause this problem. You can over extend the diaphram and cause it to not release the clutch as well. There can be mechanical things inside the clutch as well as incorrect disc thickness that could cause problems as well.

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
these clutches are hit or miss, i had one and it was great, i had a friend get one and the springs blew out of the puck, competition uses Oem Honda pressure plates that are colored black and throw their own discs/ pucks in there.

I installed a CC stage 4 sprung in nov 07' on my resurfaced ACT streetlight flywheel and new master/slave cyl. I used the CC upgraded pressure plate. No problems *knock on wood*

Hey guys, I have a similar problem...
Check out my thread about it: https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/competition-clutch-problem-fi-integra-2660616/
I will try to adjust my clutch pedal to see the difference!

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
come try out my stage 5 comp cluch (which btw, held up fine for 10s, never slipped on me once) and tell me it has stock stiffness!! LOL
i have two ED's, my drag car/fun car, and a stock Si, and the pedal in the Si doesnt even feel like it exists compared to the comp stage 5 PP.

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
We put comp clutches in just about everything that leaves are shop. Never a problem to date.
My daily has a stg 5 with upgraded plate w a 9lb comp fly wheel. Sees 26-27psi via a 80lb/min turbo every weekend. I can't say I have ever seen or used another single disc that could withstand that.
There are way to many variables in clutch related issues and we rarely blame the manufacture.

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
How do you I.D. on of these clutches? I bought one as a backup and just installed it yesterday and had a similar issue. I adjusted the pedel today and it helped out alot. The guy I bought it from said is was a comp clutch. The pressure plate is black and its a four puck sprung hub with red springs. It doesn't feel that much better than the exedy stage 2 three puck I just removed.

Re: stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck problem
I have cc stage 5 (4 puck sprung) and it's been in the car for about 1 and a half years. Up until this year (after 2 dyno tune and some testing on the streets) I finally got a chance to hit he track and let loose the beast at a two day event. Anyways the first day went smooth and had a 10 sec run. Then the second day after a couple of runs my second gear wouldn't go in at high rpms but the rest of the gears were fine(same thing with 2 other drivers). But now daily driving it's the same except little grind in 5th when shifting a little fast. Not to sure if it's the clutch but thinking maybe tranny. Has anyone experience this?
