Latest clutch info?
What is the latest greatest on the big clutch dilema? Have we heard from the ACTman? Mine is getting worse(2nd owner)at 12k. I am just curious as to what to do. I will go aftermarket if necessary but still have warranty left-

almost 10K and no real problems.... couple track days, and more then a few drag strip trips...
i mean don't get me wrong.... it has a tendancy to slip here and there... stink of skunk.... occasional chatter... but as far as working, its holding up alright for what it is....
the horror stories make it seem like a few hard launches and the clutch disc is going to rip right through the tranny and come up throught the floorboard only to cut your right arm off....

Actman, I spoke to David (inside sales?) on Friday he was extremely helpful and thorough in explaining the chatter issue to me. He suggested changing out the clutch line to stainless for better feel or changing the valving (aka drilling out) in the resistor that Mits is using to protect against overuse. I am probably oversensitive to the issue but, is does irratate. Should I simply live with it and if so, is it going to increase the wear rate on my clutch? I have no mods, will not mod, and will not or have not drag launched-
Thank you, Michael

I did see that mod on their site. I too have no time and will use my dealer. I am still wondering if that resisitor should still be there as protection. Not needed?
