ATS twin plate vs Os giken twin disk

A multiplate clutch doesnt mean it has to be an on/off feeling clutch. Each one can have its own characteristics. As for the OSG appearing nicer quality than the ATS...

As for the OSG appearing nicer quality than the ATS... Its been some years since I looked at my ATS and never held them side by side. But that clutch lasted me over 5 years before it started slipping, so I wouldnt worry too much about how pretty it looks inside the bell housing.

Im surprised to see people in this thread that are happy with the way the OSG drives. I guess to each their own. Everyone that drove my car hated it, and only a few of them were even really successful at it. Perhaps there is a different model than mine and my friends that drives nicer.
I agree my buddy has a twin OSG, when i drove it around the parking lot i was like WTF lol

There are sprung and unsprung centres which is usually the difference.

I have a solid centre twin plate in my car and it is like an on/off switch.

I don't have a problem but some in the family who drive it do.
