shuddering when releasing clutch from stop
I have a aluminium flywheel with the metal face insert and a six puck sprung clutch.
everything is new now but it just shudders when i find the friction point under 1500 rpms.
I need to give like over 2000 rpm and let it go slowly so there is no shudder.
it is a D16Y8 motor and tranny

so I assume that if this was a 4 puck it would be even worse?
I chose the sprung 6 puck cause it would be better that a non sprung 6 puck.
I guess i should have went with a regular clutch if there is no benefit to a six puck besides more clamping

I have yet to drive something with a 4 puck so I can't really comment on those, if i had to guess i'd say they were probably even worse. full face organic is the way to go if you want smooth engagement. 6 puck isn't really kind to differentials either, definately puts more stress on them. Unless you need the additional clamping force of a puck style clutch there really isn't any reason to run one.

well i got a rebuilt tranny from gearspeed and plan to boost it during the summer.
everyone was saying the sprung puck type was the way to go.

Well if you need the extra clamping force it is. puck style clutches are definately harder on the differential due to their harsh engagment, transmits quite a bit of shock to the differential. If it was me i'd just try not to let the clutch slam out, try to feather it somewhat.
