hey i used search button, no luck

I will be having to buy a clutch soon..
any experienced fellow T2 owners have any opinion about their clutches?
im not looking for any extreme clutch as this will be my daily driver, but i want it to be able to take a beating, and grab fast, and of course reliability

thinking of centerforce II or act 4 or 6 puck(which one BTW)?

 

ACT all the way

ok guys ACT, 4 or 6 puck?

 

I have a Centerforce clutch but an ACT 6-puck disc. Its a very nice setup.

thats what i have been wondering for a TII what really would be the best, because i was just thinking higher clamping pressure plate with a mild upgrade in the disc. but would i loose streetability with a 6 puck? and would i reduce the life of it?

 

I'had a ACT 6'r, CenterForce dual friction and I got a Spec stage 4-six puck and its by far the best I've had. www.specclutch.com

My friend runs a Stang tuner shop and he recommended these... So far its great

 

why four or six puc what are you running, if you don't have a whole lot i would definatly go with a sprung 6 puck but if you just want an upgrade i'd go for the street strip thing

 

Go with the ACT, I have the CenterforceII right now and it was great until I put the BNR stage 3 on. Then it would somtimes slip going into 2nd. I am going ACT next time.

 

RB or ACT
Not Centerforce

 

Act.

 

The Center Force I and II aren't really much of an upgrade from stock. The Center Force Dual Friction clutch works great, but most shops have difficulty installing it correctly. Therefore, I suggest ACT because most people on this forum do not take their car to a good shop, and the ACT clutches are easy for any grease monkey to install. The choice of disk and pressure plate are really up to you.

 

whats so special about the Dual Friction that would make it difficult to install correctly??? and i have heard the a metal puck will kill your flywheel, is that true?

 

like i said, whats the difference b/t ACT 4 and 6 puck clutches?
thanks

 

It has weights, which are the whole idea behind the concept of the clutch, and is why it allows for a very soft engagement but still holds well under load.

Typical installation error which causes CFDF-phobia:

I guess it depends on the clutch and flywheel. I could see where a metal puck could wear down an all-aluminum flywheel faster than an organic puck.

ok, So i want to put a light weight steel flywheel and a ACT sprung puck on my NA street port. which one will last longer and have a "Smoother" engagment. this would be for the daily driver of course. 4 or 6 puck

 

The ACT catalog carries the following note on the 4 and 6-puck disk :
"* Not recommended for street use due to harsh engagement".
Some people like this, but it doesn't sound like your cup of tea based on your statement above.

If you want smooth engagement for a daily driver then just save yourself some money and get a good organic clutch and keep the stock flywheel. It's not like you need to shell out extra money for anything special with those requirements, and a light flywheel and 4 or 6-puck clutch will just make the car more difficult to drive (in your case). The ACT organic street disk and HD pressure plate combo is rated for 268 lb-ft torque, which is more than any street-legal 13B NA is going to produce. This kit is nice because it comes with a new pressure plate and throwout bearing:
