Default the famous clutch question again..

what is the best organics clutch (for an escort RST) out there ?

I know have a 4 paddle clutch and its a freaking nightmare...

I know there is a 6 paddle clutch, but my guess is that its still a nightmare (is it ?). I hate getting the car rolling in first gear...it feels like my car is shaking apart...

My car has around 200 BHP, so I know driving a organics may also give me problems...but im willing to take the risk because...again...this paddle is killing me !!!

I have not tried a 6 paddle clutch in an RST yet, but I drove one in a 4x4 Cosworth and it was fantastic. Lighter than a std Escos one.

I never found the 4 paddles I have had in my RST too much of a problem. However, I have gone for an Alcon 6 Paddle this time to try it out.
