I ran the 12 puck one for a while and used it for just about everything. Not sure what I have now, but pretty sure it is a 12 puck LOL The biggest difference was when the sprung hub was introduced. That made towing a snap with the double disk. All the sprung hubs I have done engage smoother than an FE

They are the kind of thing that sometimes you can get by without replacing them for a while, then just out of the blue they are done and you are stranded. LOL They do not always give a warning before they go. I strongly recommend them with a 3600 or heavier clutch. Come'on Jason, just whip out the plastic. LOL Or, tell Nelson to pay for it.

12cb will hold slipping a little better but 6 buttons will shift quicker

I have a 3600 sprung 12cb clutch. I didn't install the new hydraulics when I did the clutch. It was difficult to get the clutch to disengage without the upgrade. Almost like it was still slipping abit. I also had to push it 'through the floor' it seemed. The upgrade got rid of this. The clutch is quite a bit stiffer than stock. I do notice it more as all of my driving is in LA traffic. The clutch is manageable towing and backing a camper up a hill. Once it was a little bouncy but with a bit of throttle it smoothed out fine. For me if I had to do it again, I might go with a 3250 but the 3600 has never slipped.
