nope........just get used to it.......I have an unsprung 6 puck and it shudders when I am reversing uphill or when I try to do an easy take off at a light.......just feather the clutch a bit more or give it more gas....YOU ARE REQUIRED BY FORUM RULES TO GO DO A 1/4 MILE RUN!!! i wanna see how you do.

yeah give it gas or it will rattle you teeth out. No more letting the clutch out slow in traffic. I have the 6 puck ACT and it does the same thing. But its not a daily driver so I don't really mind.

Should have bought a sprung disk. I have a spec 3 pressure plate in my t2 with a spec 4 disk from a 3rd gen. Drives fine minus peddle effort.

its sprung..

when i first had it, i had to drive it 150 km back from the shop... now it feels much easier.. (did i break it?!)

i heard feathering the clutch would wear it out much faster - any pointers would be awsome.
