3 puck clutch question

[jamesdem1123]

anyone using a 3 puck clutch? im getting a 5 speed swap and the shop was going to put an act cllutch on but it hasnt arrived yet and they had this 3 puck on the shelf?

they say its better than the act but i cant find information on it, its made by clutchtex or something like that.

i hear a 6 puck design is really "grabby" and you have to get used to it im assuming its worse with a 3?

Other way around most likely. Clutchtex? Sounds like a crap brand, but you never know, I've never heard of someone on here using that brand. 3 puck you say? I sill haven't seen anyone use a clutch disc on here with less than 4 pucks, but you never know...

Exedy has a 3puck clutch.

unless you're drag racing or doing hard launches all the time, the 3 puck is NOT for a daily car. 3 puck is worse then a 6 on the street.

A six isn't so bad, a 4 is more harsh. A six takes a little getting used to. I'd personally wait for the clutch you ordered.

I have ridden in a car with a 3 puck disc, with a stock PP, it was smooth, much smoother than my RPS. And I think the brand is Clutchnet.

yep im pretty sure its clutchnet, i was messing around with the clutch before install and it is this one here http://www.clutchnet.com/product.php?productid=16011&cat=0&page=1

notice the "for drag race use only" part of the description. it is extremely rough but holds pretty damn good.

After first it's fine.

Depends on the size and area of the pucks to how harsh it'll engage.
