I've got the 6 paddle one in mine it definitely doesn't slip lol not to bad to live with but takes a bit of getting used to I would imagine 4 paddle would be a nightmare if it's even sharper

I had a Cusco 4 puck in the Bluebird and it was a bit sharp in traffic, but liveable.
That one wasn't sprung though
I got a Sachs pressure plate with all the bits and uprated plate, but whilst it's still in bits I may as well go overkill.

It was good of you to take your gearbox off just to take a picture of your clutch for him Jim.

did you use a normal T-5 or a R pressure plate with that?

No helix plate

Well I've had an email back, and they said the 4 paddle with their cover will hold up to 508nm... Seems a bit ££££ tbh.

[Jamest5r]

I'm holding 530 nm on a 6 paddle no problem and expect that to go up a good bit when mapped properly and I have no worries on it clamping but we will see

I see RT runs (or ran) a 6 paddle. Wonder why they're quoting such low figures for the 4
