Jerky takeoffs/ ripped slave cyl. boot with 50 miles on it

[Supraflymk3]

I put in a 6 puck disc in my stock clutch and it's alot harder to start moving than it was with the stock disc. It likes to jerk. Is this normal with having a 6 puck in there? Also I just installed a brand new slave cylinder Beck Arnley I put about 50 miles on it and the boot ripped and my push rod popped out. Any ideas on why that would happen?

parts store ones are garbage IMHO...

LMAO that was meant to be 11) on Doward's list of why Manuals are better than AUTOs

11) Any clutch that will stand up to a healthy 7M Turbo will be a PIG to drive.

 

[Poodles]

sounds like he just needs to break the clutch in...

what kinda clutch?

 

[IJ.]

Puck clutch = no marcel springs = jerky

 

[Poodles]

true...

I got a 6 puck waiting to go into mine as well...

hopefully it's not too bad...

I take it you would get the same effect if you tare a bushing from the rear.

Outer lower right hand side for example LOL

Did you see the warning label on the clutch. "For track use only". Anyway I have an ACT 6 puck on mine with stock disk and pressure plate and yes it does engaged pretty hard. It will take some time getting use to. Try slipping the cluth with a bit of gas. It feels like stock when you get on it but when you are driving normal, it's rough. It funny because you have other people starring at you thinking that you can't drive stick. LOL.

yeah, it takes getting used to. One of my coworkers who I trust to drive brought it up with me when I first in stalled my 6 puck. So after alittle I made a bet with him, that if he could do it better first try (this was the 2nd day of having the act 6 puck, hd pp in), ild give him 50 bucks, if he stalled immedietly, i got 50, otherwise it was a wash. He stalls, i make 50, no word ever said again. Once you get the feel for it, it's much nicer to KNOW it's grabbing on, at least how I see it.

Is it a sprung 6puck or is it a rigid disk? I put in a sprung ACT 6puck with ACT HD PP and it's not too bad.. I am using a stock flywheel though.

 

[TurboStreetCar]

you can get most puck style clutches sprung and unsprung.

say what?

 

[IJ.]

But they don't have the Marcel wave springs in between the friction surfaces and these are what give the nice smooth soft engagment in a stock clutch

 

[TurboStreetCar]

you mean like compression springs between the friction material and the actually metal plate? i see, i guess they dont have them lol

either way they shouldnt be too bad, my cousin has a spec stage 3 in his 240 and its not bad at all, touchy as in when it grips it grips but isnt jerky.

 

[Poodles]

I'm sticking with a stock flywheel, so that should help a bit...

break in is gonna be a bitch I'm assuming...

Chunks: They're okish if you use more rpm and slip it it's just when you try and drive them like stock they're a pig
