A few months ago we weighed our own clutch discs and a competitor’s product.\u00a0 This was all done to compare the weight difference in our High 5 Puck Disc.\u00a0 We covered its release here:\u00a0 http:\/\/specialtyz.com\/blog\/?p=45<\/a><\/p>\n

In short the more weight the input shaft has to deal with the harder it is for it to go into the next gear.\u00a0 The inertia from a heavier disc will cause more wear and tear on synchros especially for those quick shifters out there.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the discs performed on the scales.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We’ll start things off with our modified street disc.\u00a0 Coming in at 3.8 lbs.\u00a0 Perfect for the driver who wants very silky smooth engagements and won’t be tearing it up at the drag strip.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Our 6-Puck comes in just a tad lighter than the street disc.\u00a0 This disc is for those who are mean to the drive-train assaulting it with clutch dumps and high horsepower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Next up is the competitor’s feramic disc.\u00a0 This puppy comes in at a heavy weight of 4.6 lbs.\u00a0 Feramic materials were developed for agricultural use (tractors, heavy equipment, etc.)\u00a0 It is heavy duty and also heavy on weight.\u00a0 Not really designed for the sports car enthusiast.\u00a0 Notorious for welding themselves to your flywheel as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This brings us to our new 5 Puck disc.\u00a0 Extremely lightweight and nimble.\u00a0 Easy on your trans and gives the driver the much needed high RPM shifting desired without sacrificing transmission internals.\u00a0 A must for the spirited driver looking for no compromises.\u00a0 Our pressure plate that goes with this disc is also lighter.\u00a0 Amazingly provides little harsh engagement and little chatter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
