thanks GTIman need to find more reviews of this Sachs 4puck for sure. unless i'm mistaken seems like we can use SMF or DMF choice is ours with the same clutch. DMF though how many ft/lbs is the design limit? 500ft/lbs more/less?

Some one that has the 4 puck should start a review thread for the 4 puck to keep things separate and less confusing for people to keep track of

Do you have an earlier kit with the old TOB or one with the updated LUK TOB?
I scheduled the install with my dealer. Considering it's the 2nd and last free clutch install they're giving me, I'll be PISSED if there is any hardware related issue once it's installed. They're also gonna readjust my trans/engine mount + install the iabed RMS so want any potential trans issues off my mind for the rest of eternity....
I went with a Valeo TOB. My kit had come with a FTE and I already had gotten the Valeo before Clifton offered me a LuK. Clifton called it a quality unit and suitable for the job.

Well, I sold my DKM kit and am going with the Sachs 4 puck. It's going in the car next week. If I ever make enough torque to need to go twin disk (or triple disk), I'll go Sachs as well. Maybe DKM is having growing pains, or maybe they will be another internet legend that failed to live up to the promises (anyone remember EIP Tuning), but I don't want to wait to find out.

I've officially been scared off. Too bad, this would have been the ultimate setup.
Looking forward to your review of the 4puck. hope you can post some of your thoughts on it. even though I like RSR hybrid (having the RSR normal) but heard some folks had slip issues; and definitely i like SB (but would need to deal with chatter), this Sachs 4puck i have heard you can go with DMF or SMF. which are you going with? with DMF is there a holding limit? good luck with everything!! hope you post up!

I did pretty close to 1000 on the replacement LUK TOB that I had put in. Did 750 on the first go around.

I'm currently at around 620-ish miles post install, going a little less easy to 1000 (still on stock tune, no hard take offs, trying to keep boost under 10 as opposed to under 5 during the first 5-600, haven't revved past 3500).
I can't wait to floor it after the 1k, it's been rough

Oof you been better than me. Been a few 4k revs. but nothing hard till say yesterday. took 5th gear up to 90 just for fun.
The last 300 I'm gonna continue to be easy. Its so hard.

Roughly 800 break in miles of 5 - psi under 4K on Stratified stock clutch base tune. Babied it because of the horror stories. At 1150 miles did a hard 2nd to 3rd pull. Literally seemed to "soften" the grab of the clutch from that 1st pull. A bit odd to me. Haven't done much driving last few weeks. Same issue as Turtle. Hard come an go shutter from 1st , Rev. Pedal has softened a lot since initial break in. Once the weather clears up I plan on running the require 3rd gear logs for the tune. I will definitely keep you guys posted. And very much appreciate everyones feed back. Keep it up boys. Lets all pray us new Owners dont get the shaft on this very pricey clutch

The shudder only happens for me if I don't give it enough throttle.
