I have had this in my 9 MR for about 2500 miles and so far so good. It is quite a bit stiffer than the stock clutch which doesn't bug me but people not use to driving my car complain about it.

Not sure why people experience problems with ACT. My ACT shifts like butter straight up to 7850, never experienced lock out etc. Only problem with mine is the stupid clutch clip, happened to me again today, this time I had a clutch fork stop. Probably too much gap I guess.

I had it in a 2003 and it burns, it smells like dead fish and it's weaker than stock. A few mods later and you burn right through it

I just went through the full life of this clutch, and for me it lasted exactly 41,000 miles.

This unit saw a TON of abuse. 200+ drag and autox launches at 5800rpm, many many WOT pulls and dyno pulls. It held up just fine, and my car makes 382whp/365wtq at 26 psi.

My one complaint is that in order to slam gears, the clutch throw had to be extended to the max, and that took a little getting used to. Overall, the clutch did it's job in my opinion, though I am trying something else this round.

Cheers

Bren
