Default Possible Clutch Issues?

Hey everyone i bought a stage 3 6 puck xtd clutch and flywheel package and have got it installed. yes i know its not the best i dont need anyone to bash this but input on the actual question would be much appreciated. When I start off in first gear its extremely jerky unless im at like 2k rpms, is this just the 6 puck disk or may i have installed something wrong? will it go away as i continue the break in? im only at 100 miles thanks in advance, Nick

it sounds like it hasnt mated yet

dont beat on it for another 50 miles and let us know how it goes if you could get a video possibly that may help as well

I just did my clutch it took about 170 miles to mate and feel ok again

Alright thats what it sounds like. it is somewhat getting better but imma take it easy on it for about 500 miles its a cheap brand and i figure i need to break it in as best as i can. Did it feel like your just dropping the clutch? before you broke yours in. kinda hard to describe..

well 6 pucks are made for drag aka launches. they are meant to be less daily driveable friendly due to the less surface area and more clamping force

also going to a single mass flywheel from the DMF you're used to is going to make for a bit more harsh engagement
