- Wed Oct 07, 2009 11:45 pm #149470 I have a 6 puck and it's more like an on/off switch compared to a stock clutch. You could put a 6 puck in a daily driver, but driving in stop/go traffic will suck.

It takes some getting used to when starting from a dead stop too.

It has shorter gears for better acceleration. Probably THE transmission to have if you boosting, or plan on adding a Turbo anytime soon.

puck clutches have a softer material for extra grip and holding power, they are fine to run in daily drivers, i have a sprung 6 puck and i can slip it very well, close to stock, it just chatters a bit at the very end if you don't give it any gas.

the puck clutch will just not have as great of a lifespan compared to a street disc...say if a street disc gives you 100k miles, a puck will prolly be half that give or take. unless you really rip on it
