Bender, over the next few thousand miles your clutch will get louder in all situations. I couldn't barely hear any chatter at first, then 2000 miles later the thing was noisy as hell. Especially idle chatter and the deceleration grinding noise. It'll show it's face soon enough
you are reviewing this clutch completely different than I would. I don't want people to think this is a good DD clutch because it's not. It's good for the track. But it also is probably the best DD out of our clutch options :/ sad.
Though I understand where you are coming from, I respectfully disagree.
First - did you have the 8 puck or the 6 puck? There is a significant difference in friction area with the 8 versus the 6.
If you read my previous posts you will see me saying I can hear chatter when the AC is on and I am at idle. Additionally, you will see me say that there is deceleration whine (I don't have a grinding noise). If anything, sitting at about 200 miles and this clutch has gotten quieter.
You just say yourself that its the best DD out of our clutch options and good for the track - thats exactly what I am looking for. I don't think anyone putting this in expects it to be stock, and if anyone does that is their own problem. I have found over the past two days that it is a fine DD clutch and I can't wait till I have the opportunity to push it harder.
The only review I can write is one of my experience, maybe it will change over time, maybe it won't. If it does, that will be up here. If it doesn't that will be here as well. It is entirely possible that we have the EXACT same experience but relate to it in a different way
I am not saying "stay out of this thread," because other experiences are valued. I am saying, perhaps, your own thread detailing your ownership history would be a more appropriate place.
