    what barefoot said. you cant go wrong with competition clutch. depending on what power your making is what stage you want to go with but give yourself room to grow. they should have recomendations on their site on what stages are rated for what power. 6 puck is fine but go with a sprung disc (less chatter). Why are you looking for something different? slipping? chatter? drivability?

    the chatter mainly and doesnt go in gear too good like to first and reverse

    I would highly recommend you not drive on an unsprung disc daily, and not because of the chatter either but because of the decreased spline life on the disc. It happened to me on an ACT disc. Also a friend and I have both used Comp Clutch on several occasions and the disc and/or PP has failed after awhile so I would never use them again.

    So far my current ACT disc (sprung) has not done me wrong yet, but the unsprung ACT disc I got was a bad idea for driving daily; the splines rounded out & bye bye to that. Anyway, this is just my opinion but I like ACT, and perhaps look into an Exedy disc also.

    Check out thmotorsports.com/ for all your clutch needs, they have wide selection and the pricing is straight.
