WWYD: Stick with RPS 3200 used or new OEM PP

[IwantMKIII]

Clutch is slipping. Already ordered a replacement 6 puck from ACT, and locking down another flywheel. Question is, stick with the used (approx 30K 65-70% highway) RPS 3200 PP or go new OEM. I simply cannot afford another aftermarket PP. Keep in mind Ill have a 57 trim with full supporting mods. I know you should always get a new PP with a new clutch but money is an issue as Im looking for a new place immediately which requires a lot of money down. PP is still very firm.

Edit: this is a DD.

Why not machine the pp if your able to? Could even machine the back step on the flywheel to make up for the amount taken off.

Dont really have to replace every time but its proper to have a machined flat surface.

I wish i could but its simply unheard of to machine a PP. Talk to a machine shop and they will basically laugh at you. I agree with you though, I think they should be able to machine a PP, but as far as I'm aware it seems to be out of the question.

And I agree its proper to have flat surfaces, however at the same time the PP will have worn down some as well as the clutch disk which is in fact a concern.

hey guys, got a question about the rps clutch, im about to buy a RPS 3200 max 6 puck clutch the guy selling it says that rps uses a oem asin pp is that true??

^nearly all aftermarket PP's utilize a stock PP and upgrade it from there.

I dont think its unheard of at all. Just not common. It has a machined surface so theres a machine to machine it. Would just to machine the back step on fly wheel for what was taken off.

^yes but you'd have to machine the ENTIRE surface, not just the contact surface of the PP, based off info from other sources I believe this is where the problem may be. Im sure it can be done, probably just not cost effective to machinists, idk.
