Default Got one and love it....

It catches a little higher up and takes some getting use to. But once you do it is great also grabby. I would do the same clutch again without a doubt.

Default Ch ch ch chatter. I have the 6 puck and AWE LWFW. Not a very good application for a daily driver.

It would love the track or strip. I'm gonna switch to something a bit more daily driver friendly. It's just too hard to drive smoothly in traffic.

Default How long have you driven the set up?

I found it took a little getting use to.

Talk to Simmply@Wicked. He has a great set-up. Same-one AH-10 runs.

Default Got about 25K on mine <more inside>

Disclaimer: I have the older 6-puck design. I believe Simmply has an 8 puck version now.

Anyway, it's a very nice setup with great pedal feel and incredible grip, but be ready to experience flywheel chatter. There are times where you will go to engage the clutch and the entire driveline will begin to shudder violently, which is the other clutch "chatter" people will tell you about. It's all something you can train yourself to avoid though.

As my setup has aged I find that it has become more on/off. Its not uncommon for me now to shock the drive line with a nice thud as it engages in first, even when I'm paying close attention and letting the pedal out real slow with plenty of throttle. Maybe its just me, but at this point I want something a little more daily drivable without the flywheel and clutch chatter. But then again, I did get at least 25k miles out of the setup and it has never once slipped.
