Default can i run a ACT 6 puck unsprung disc with stock Pressure plate?

like the topic says.
i have a GSR swap and am too poor right now to afford the clutch package so i just ordered the disc. (act 6 puck metalic disc unsprung) i ran this clutch before in my GSR'ed EK and loved it.
--just wondering whats gonna happen if i use the disc in the stock GSR pressure plate? i think it will work fine,, but thats just me, anyone with experience???
thanks to all that help me out.

It's kinda worthless....and the plate will probably fail.

why did you get that disk if you can't afford a pressure plate??? Wait till you can get a pressure plate and do it right. you can use it, but I wouldn't recomend it.

I don't see why you can't do it, but it's probably not gonna last long.

I think the low pressure of the stock plate will cause the plate, or disk, to glaze and start slipping right away.

You will more than likely need a new pressure plate quick if use stock with a 6 puck disc.


I know Supra people that use triple plate clutches with stock or organic PP's.

It's nice if you want the stock pedal pressure, but you'll be replacing it alot.

a sprung 6-puck with stock pressure plate is horrible and is a pain in the ***..
stick with your stock clutch it will work just as well, it will be easer to drive, and will last MUCH longer like 5 to 10 years longer
