i figure this is the best place to ask...

does anyone run a 6 puck clutch on the street? whats it like? how's the life of the disc?

i'm looking into the HA3-HDR6 for my Prelude

i assume the track performance is very nice, but curious on its streetability

reasons:
cheaper than SS disc
handles more power (turbo very soon)

Any clutch setup made for high torque will take some getting used to on the street. I've been running an ACT 4 puck with the xtreme pp for some time now and dont mind it at all, but it depends on who you talk to.

 

the 6 puck would be less harsh than the 4, correct?

 

Yea 6 puck would have eaiser engagement and daily drivablity

 

Me and my bro are both running the clutchnet 6 puck with the sprung center in our H22s. Its a little less harsh than a solid 6 puck.

They are daily drivable and still chatter a bit but you get use to them.
I would see about getting a sprung center hub to reduce driveline shock.

get the ACTION 1MD clutch kit.
it has the single diaphragm heavy duty pressure plate
and 4 or 6 puck SPRUNG disc and it wont chatter.

I even use the 4 puck solid disc myself and never had chatter problems.

My little brother is running the ACT extreme plate and 6 puck. I drove his car once and didn't ever want to do it again. It's too much work. It's not everyday you get a chance to drive a decent 12 second car but I hated it after 2 stop signs so I quit.

 

i use that same act kits (ha3-hdr6) in my h22. very streetable. i like it much better than the oem clutch! but thats just me.

 

i used to run a 6puck on my old car, didnt like driving it on the street cause it was such a pain...takes a while to get used to...but if you arent going to drive your car around that much its cool....just gets annoying, and sucks *** in traffic

 

**** the Clutchnet 6-Puck...

I went through 2 Clutch Disks in 11 Monthes. 15k Miles Total...ona Stock B18B.

I totally destroyed a Stock Flywheel...Don't get it. The clutch is ****.

I run an ACT 6 puck with HD pp in my gsr and I love it. Streetability is not compromised at all. You get used to it in less than a day. Clutch chatter is annoying at first but I don't mind it now. That **** grips, buy it.

 

i had an exedy 3 puck clutch for a while, came on the car when i bought, damn did that thing grab, but the drivetrain did "shock" it was extreme sudden engagement, and was a bitch in traffic and basically any stop, and i was dubbed by many ricers in town as "the guy that cant drive his fake type r" yet every friend i let try and drive my car stalled it the first couple attempts and it was 3 times harder to push in than the exedy sport i now have

I run a CM stage IV and it chatters like a ******* *****. It's a sprung 4 puck that holds lots of power, but it does chatter.

 

i just installed a 6 puck a.c.t in my buddys 97 turbo single over head 1.6 and you would be suprised. very heavy off of the luanch but instant grab,allthough it was a little chattery off the line,then again it was installed 3 hours ago,but ill tell you what,it spins the tires 4,000 and above in 1st,socand and part of third ,Turbo civic E.X,hoodratt,007

 

hahah my ACT 6puck HD chatters like a ***** too.. but it grabs like a *****, too... the clutch is awesome. i just hate the daym chatter. i got used to the clutch but the chatter is annoying after awhile.

 

i have an actuon unsprung 6puck dual diaphram 3klb pressure plate
its supposed to engage like stock
but all i know is its collecting dust on my couch while i scrounge for the rest of my turbo kit.

 

sounds good...

but can someone explain clutch chatter to me thanks

 

Just get the new tilton CLutch. ANyone $4800.00

 

is clutch chatter the noise it makes cuz i get that a lot with my 4 puck... i drove with a 6 puck and 4 puck feels the same to me.. eRRRR

 

I'm thinking about the RPS Carbon-Carbon...$1300 w\ Flywheel.

The chattering is from the clutch eating away at your flywheel and PP. You will only hear the chattering from ceramic type disks like the ACT 6 puck and 4 puck. I've had mine on for 9 months now and I already had to replace the disk once because the splines wore out. I also looked at the Flywheel and the PP and they are a bit thinner than when I installed them.

 

well, i changed plans for the car so i think i'm just gonna get the HDSS

thanks for all the responses though

 

LOL Nice analogy!!!!

 

I'm running the 6 puck solid disc, and after about three days of driving around, it just feel like stock to me. Now after 3 months of driving around on this I drove my friends hatch with a stock clutch, and it seemed like it took FOREVER to grab. 6 puck is very streetable, even though it says it is not recommended.

 

yeap dats me
its a pain in the butt, i want to go out and buy a 2nd car so i can drive that here and there
its a pain in the butt
but it holds the power u got if u got the power for it

now im running low 12's and im fixing to be on my 3rd tranny for my sohc
and im fixing to be on my 3rd clutch in the last 6 or 7 months
