Hey People,
I have purchased a SPEC 4 puck ceramic clutch last June and installed it in my B16A tranny I also resufaced my fly-wheel before installation.
What my concern is when I ingauge the clutch at low RPM's it squeals a little but does'nt slip at all ; also when I ingauge the clutch at high RPM's it hooks up great and does'nt make a sound just tire spin. Over-all its a great clutch it's just the squeal noise should I be concerned or is this normal?
Also what is the life expectance for a Ceramic Puck clutch of this style driven daily?
I have attached a pic of my clutch and hope it shows up.
Thanks for any comments......

a squeal or more like chatter?

The only way I can describe it is a hy-pitch squeal , maybe it is a chatter? I don't know. I've got a brand new Center Force Dual Friction thinkin about putting it in after the Spec wears out.

hmmm, did you do a proper break-in?

First of all, what mods do you have to warrant a 4 puck? Don't make the mistake to "over-clutch" your setup.

How many miles has it been since it was installed? My 6 puck squeeled a bit til it finally broke in. Now it just grabs and pulls. Chatter once in awhile when its cold, but its getting less frequent with the warmer weather coming up.

Over-clutch my setup? Never heard of that, ,,,anyway its stock motor with just a header and intake.
Should this type of clutch not be used for everyday driving?
What kind of mileage can I expect to get out of this clutch?

Well, it's better to get a clutch that's fit for your current setup. Otherwise, you're putting unnecessary stress on your transmission with a 4 puck. Not only is barely driveable on the streets, but there's less slippage which can equate to a messed up tranny if abused enough.
