I just got my 6 puck in the mail, hopefully I will have it in within a week or so. I figured if its to harsh whiplash will just have to be a side effect to me giving you a ride =)

The 6 puck (I've had mine for a year) doesn't have any springs. So when you engage it, it just GRABS. Like Dom Deluise and a wedding cake. No prob if your racing and dump it. A slight pain in the *** if you're going for groceries, but you learn to adapt and I can manage a pretty smooth engagement most of the time. And the 6 puck is indestructible. A local shop used to race a TII and the driver was dumping it at 7k all the time. The clutch is still A-1.

Go with a 6 puck... smoother engagement...
(unless this is for a racecar... )
(btw, this is NOT going to make your car faster...)
