as the topic says guys...

last night i was running on the street against a a lude.... and guess what the clutch was slipping all the way, so i guess that i have to change it

a friend told me to put 4 puck with no springs and other friend told me 6 puck with springs... and that`s my question.

i`m running stock pressure plate stock flywheel on a stock b16 bottom end.

thanks in advance for the help.

Don't ever get a springless clutch for your street car. Just get an aftermarket street kit, single puck with springs. Or get an Integra type-R OEM clutch disc and PP.

I'm assuming the car is normally aspirated? Tell us more about your setup.

ACT HDSS for a great clutch, and ACT XTSS for a stronger engagement. whoever told you to get a 4 puck with an unsprung hub wasn't your friend, watches too much F&F, and doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Exedy also makes a nice OEM replacement clutch if you want to save some money.

just make 100% sure you replace your rear main seal, re-surface your flywheel, replace the pilot bearing and throwout bearing, grease the clutch fork pivot cup, and replace the clutch disc and pressure plate. good luck

I agree with everything here EXCEPT the rear main seal. Why replace the rear main seal? Will not help the clutch out. If it has higher mileage yes it would be a good safety precaution, but if it is a low mile motor or even has just average miles no need to replace the rear main.

you know something.....ha...

i used to have the all motor ls/vtec and i pulled it out in favor of a b16 for the simple reason that it was too hard for the streets. it was almost a drag car and it had problems.... so never got to run it on the track cause always was a problem when we went to the track. first time = broken axle from the very first pass while heating up then the second time the slick tire lost all pressure and i didn`t even realize it until 60 feet so pulled out... an there was a problem with the bogart rim so couldn`t add pressure to it cause it was loosing it quick... and then finally the #1 piston clip broke or something cause the (don`t know in english) the **** that pases the piston from side to side and pases through the rod. yeah that ****... it pulled out damaging the sleeve. so that`s why a traded my ls short block for the b16 stock.

and all that to tell that i still got my 2800lbs cluchnet pressure plate... and don`t know if put it back with stock disc (it`s too hard cause my tranny is cable) i did something like hasport cable to hydro conversion using racing vw sleeve but still a bit hard with the clutchnet.

so i don`t know if put that back or use the stock pressure plate with six puck with springs (i`m more convinced with that than the 4 puck no springs).

so what do you guys think? and please help... sorry for the long story.
