Default 4 Paddle or 6 Paddle clutch in Escort RS Turbo S2

Can anyone recommend the 6 paddle clutch??

I've been told the 6 paddle is slightly smoother in engagement, can anyone confirm this??

Any help appreciated.

Thanx

Haven't tried a 6 paddle in an RST - got a very ruff 4 paddle in mine. But a chap I know has had both in his cossie and said that the 6 paddle is so much better than the 4 paddle in terms of easy of use and smoothness.

O.K. people, i didn't really get any advise so i spoke with Burton Power and Grove Garage and they advised the 6 paddle to be smoother in take up.

So i've now got my 6 paddle alcon clutch from Ears Motorsport www.ears.co.uk

It was off the shelf and next day delivery all for £330 all in.

I'll let you all know how violant it is.

No.

Sounds good - let us know what its like, cos i'd be very very interested in ditching the 4 paddle for a 6 paddle. Cheers for the price info too.
