SZ Clutch & Flywheel Upgrades + Bearing!

I think "riding the clutch" is the biggest problem for most people. You generate so much heat and this probably causes why our great tranny's fail, as Seb shows us

I think "riding the clutch" is the biggest problem for most people. You generate so much heat and this probably causes why our great tranny's fail, as Seb shows us above. I would bet that it's probaly be the reason why people that don't abuse their car, still encounter failure. The sooner you engage, the less heat you generate.

Thanks Bardabe for abusing your car for us! I let the big guy know upstairs when I go, that you really aren't as a bad as the people driving beside you, say you are!! Seb, if you need another test mule PM me, I'll abuse this for you. Sounds like we have a winner here though.

I guess I will go with the Sprot 6-Puck Package then since I am an avid drag racer....I hear that the 6-puck can at time be harsh during engagements though...Someone recommended that if I do go with a 6-puck to get one that is sprung, as it's a bit smoother for daily driving....Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?...Seb..is the 6-Puck clutch in the Sport Package come sprung?

yes the sport 6 puck is a sprung disk, Engagement on it is awesome. not harsh at all. I've installed many of these on customer cars, and most of them can't believe its a 6 puck.
