With hearing of the lockout problems associated with the ACT I did some searching and RPS makes a single disc clutch that is around $600-650 and a couple people on the board are running it with success! Might wanna look into that as well.

I have heard the stock clutch is built by Exedy, but is it a twin disk design? Also, I'm at 43,000 miles, has any stock clutch lasted longer?

if you never launch your evo and know how to drive and rarely downshift...your clutch will last an easy 40k
the stock clutch is definetly not a twin disc...i ripped mine out myself and installed the twin disc...
ACT is a good cost effective clutch... i've heard plenty of cases of people with lock out in the higher rpm range regardless of adjustment...... exedy is amazing, i've heard good things about tilton too

How long did your clutch last?
Well guys. My clutch went and I replaced it with another stocker. I did not have the cash to spend on the twin plate, but I know I will do it when this one goes.
I got 44K miles from the stock one and I was not easy on it. I did launches, power shifts and a few times smoked it a bit too much.
The car started to slip and then grip. I could put the hammer doen and then it would slip then grip and go. After a while it did more slipping than gripping. I am glad it did not just give out and leave me stranded.
I got it replaced at the dealer for $1066 out the door.
Glad I have winter tires and rims for the snow.

Anyone else have other sites for this?
