puck style clutches like ACT's can eat up your flywheel
its not bad to daily drive on.

just feel weary that it will decrease the life (higher chance of damaging) of your transmission parts and axles.

I had a stage 3 ACT on my 98 and it was pretty difficult to drive in traffic. That specific clutch was a 6 puck "sunsprung" clutch. I liked the feel of it though. It will decrease your axle life at least for sure. I am not too sure what effect it would have on your tranny however.
