What clutches for the W58 don't squeal?

[destrux]

Other than the OEM clutch disc, what clutch disc don't squeal on engagement?

I've got a 6 puck metallic disc (copper/ceramic) right now, and I'm getting tired of the squeal.

It seems to be worse in the supra than in either of my old FWD cars, probably because of the extra weight of this car needing the clutch to slip more from a stop. On my previous cars it was so little that I didn't mind it, but on this car it turns heads (not in a good way).

Swapping in an OEM disc makes it go away, but it can't handle any abuse, one launch and it's smoking.

So what discs don't squeal but can handle abuse?

Squeal? Is your clutch metal-on-metal at this point? I have a 6-puck from Driftmotion, no squealing here, at least nothing especially noticeable. It does get awfully grabby if you slip it too long (heat glazed?), and makes a bit of noise for a couple days or a few miles of normal driving, but nothing crazy.

If it's squeeling, it's one of a couple things.

- throwout bearing
- not broken in
- glazed

My centerforce dual friction didn't squeal at all when I had my W58.

Also have a 6 puck no noise at all. Just a bit grabby after a little slipping

It's glazed. Most of my daily drive is from stop sign to stop sign. I guess there's probably no way around it unless I move.

Competition clutch, full face. I think stage 2. Mines been great for a couple years at 11 psi on ct.

Drive like an asshole away from each stop sign, and explain to the friendly constable that your clutch doesn't work if you drive like a normal person?

Seriously though, you have my sympathy sir. My car gets touchy if I'm driving through neighborhoods too much too. Clutch tends to get awfully quick to grab once it gets hot like that.

I had an exedy 3-puck ceramic race clutch in my civic. It would only make noise on engagement when it was cold. Once warmed up it was silent.
