whats the difference in clutches? i see some with 3, 4, 6 or some that look just like a solid disk. what are the different affects produced by getting different ones?

the friction. i worked in a place that did the facings for clutch masters and the ones with the fins havea rougher engagement giving the car a sportier attitude

ok, so if i want to keep a smoother start i should just get a higher quality oem replacement? cause im not all into the jerky start. im not a racer, i just want a faster car, and buying a new motor sure as hell beats spending 20k on a new car.

yeah pretty much. get the whole disk thingie

will if affect shifting as well? or is that just dependant on how well i can drive
