Default AP Racing 6 Paddle Clutch for Cos

Got one fitted today but noticed the following after fitting....

1. When backing off at low speed can hear a sort of wine from the box, goes away when clutch depressed even just slightly.

2. Noisey when taking up the bite point for longer that just a takling off manouver. Noticed it going into the drive and garage (slight uphill)

Is this usual with 6 paddle ???

Car is flying now it gets all its power down. was no where near as bad judder as my old 4 paddle on erst

When i had my AP organic in, it sounded like my box is on its last legs but when clutch is in its fine. By all accounts they havent got damping in them to take vibration out or somthing Cant remember now what Bernie told me but it was somthing like that

Does it have springs in the centre?
If not that is probally where the noise is coming from.

Springs in the middle of the clutch that absorb the torque cycle reducing shock.

About 6 in total arranged in the centre.
