Default 4 Paddle clutch

I took my box off to get to the clutch and have it re padded but then found it to only be a 4 paddle and not a 6 like i thought.

Does one have a higher power limit than the other ?

The four paddle takes the higher power mate. I used to have one and it was way more aggressive than my 6 paddle alcon set up... which handles my 400+ bhp no problem.

Fair enough, for some reason i had it in my head that 6 paddles took more.

cheers

It's not that simple imo, the power handling varies from make to make, material to material, the fewer paddles the more aggressive in general they are.
