So which kit has the better pressure plate? Does'nt make a difference anyways i already went with the 4 puck.


the 4 puck and 6 puck use the same pressure plate and are rated the same. Break in is most important on these setups. also the type of flywheel and friction surface is just as important.


This will be mated to a fidanza flywheel. Is that any good? Also when i said which kit has the better flywheel i was asking about the 4/6 puck clutch kit compared to the sintered iron disc kit.




the fidanza flywheel is what I run. the replacable friction surface is made of 1045 steel. The sintered iron setup is much stronger setup due to the double diaphram pressure plate. Its also way harsh on engagement this would eat your tranny quick and the axels.

What's the best break in for the fx500? I'm gonna be running the 4 puck disc.

500 mile break in. no hard launches. No hard shifts. After that let it rip.

I'm guessing this wouldn't go good with a b13 tranny

it can be done. How long the tranny will last will depend on your driving habits.
