I have the 6 puck unsprung Action clutch. I love it! it's like an on off switch but I got use to it real fast and it doesnt seem harsh at all... in fact I can handle more harsh.

I say go for it

dont get stuck in traffic is all I can offer.

unsprung clutches are great for grabbing...and for building up calf strength

the PP spring determine pedal effort, the hub springs have nothing to do with the PP spring. Hub springs are what are missing in an unsprung clutch.

Mine chatters, grips real hard, and if I had to do it again I would get a sprung. City driving just sucks with an unsprung, IMO.

I said nothing about pedal effort....I just said they are great for building up calf strength.

why? sorry didnt explain...

because you have to constantly finger the damn things since they grab sooo quickly and when you're just inching in traffic you've constantly got your foot down there fingering the thing so you dont launch into the car in front of you

yeah, I can see that getting old if your in a LOT of traffic every day... I drive in boston traffic (but not for daily commute) I think it's fine...

I was actually a little dissapointed in the clutch feel, I thought it was going to be more harsh when I read threads like this... I didn't think it was bad at all when I finally used mine..

you guys just need to hit the gym

i love mine because i know when i dump it at 6k in boost...its gonna grab...but my gf hates the fact that i have to slip the clutch in order for it to drive somewhat comfortably....she hates when i dont even feather it in...and just let it grab...its a jerk that if your not ready for it...will put you in the back seat....i love mine but sprung would help ease transmission shock...and be a lil easier driving around town...pretty much you have to ask yourself one ?....is it a DD or a street/race monster....

It's not any different then a sprung hub of the same style.
