I know this probably isn't the right forum to post this but has anyone ever used this type of clutch? How does it feel when shifting? I'm too use this type on my 300 i6 as of right now I'm doing a mild performance rebuild!

If anyone else has any other recommendations please feel free to post!

Thanks!

 

WTF is a 6 puck clutch?

 

Without seeing it I would guess it is made of a better material and has more grip than a stock one?

From experience I found that there is such a thing as to much clutch. There should be some slip, because if the clutch has no give and you bang gears on occasion you are going to 'break' that which is weaker.

 

True. I don't think I would bang the gears on occasion. Especially after the man gave my first ticket! What kinda clutch are you guys running?? I know I do a lot of down shifting

 

Borg Warner Brute Power for me:

More Information for BRUTE POWER 90206

Got the kit for $75 from Rock Auto on a wholesaler closeout sale.

Those 6-puck things seem pretty expensive - $300-$400+ last I looked.

 

if you go on clutchnet.com there is a 6 puck clutch (just the disc) for $180 and some change. But that's not bad for a whole kit!!

actually that's a steal compare to the 6 puck i was looking at!

 

The puck type clutches are pretty much an on/off switch there is no middle ground on engagement. They are not reccomended for daily driving. Great in something like mudder and and other applications where you would want a hard grip. They tend to chatter and buck on engagement until you get the hang of it. They tend to be popular with drag racers and autocross as well.

 

Okay now maybe a 6 puck is a bit to extreme for my truck what would be a good moderate performance clutch?

 

It's been my experience that, unless you need something that's application specific like the 6 puck, any brand name OEM style clutch will work out just fine for you. Chris supplied a link a few posts back that would be a great clutch to consider for daily driving, and a bit more.

 

I would stay away from the cheap, Chinese-made variants.

 

Well one of my co-worker suggested a 6 puck be of what I'm doing to engine: p&p the head, milling the head and decking the block, honing the block, new rings and bearings, three angle valve job, crower cam 19212, crower spring kit, hedman header, offy dp intake mani, cloyes timing gears, etc etc I'm still gonna run the stock tranny and 3.08 gears. Eventually I'm gonna upgrade the gears in the rear.

But that brute clutch that chris posted a link of did have some nice choices.

 

Nice build, but still not a blown/nitro/race engine. Again, a good quality name brand clutch kit will do you just fine.

Remember, this is a street/work truck we're talking about. Maybe Displacement4me might have a use for a clutch like that though... See this thread:

Yeah, I agree....

This is what would be known as a mild build...

Nothing exorbitant, no 900-horsepower engines runnin' down the drag strip in 4 seconds....

 

Haha I hear that thanks for the help guys

 

It's been my experience that "puck" or pad clutches have ceramic friction material. For example my tractor has a 9 pad 13" clutch, and those 9 pads are holding the 220hp right now, it is smooth but not something you slip at all. When I tried to slip it out it make a sound like a train horn, so at 3/4 throttle as soon as the wheel start to turn I dump it.

The only reason you would need somthing way better then stock is if you plan on running higher rpms
