What are you guys talking about. There is no such thing as a "2600" for an Evo.

"2600" is an outdated DSM term for an XT pressure plate with an SS street organic disc.

If you guys want the skinny on ACT products, please send us your questions. We have all versions in stock with the proper part numbers.

This thread is just going to further confuse all of you with the improper use of terminology and accounts of how ABCDE model ACT on someone's 96 EK hatch with NAWS blew the welds on the intake manifold, all because of the ACT.

actually

2600 = HD pressure plate
2900 = XT pressure plate

but agreed the terminology with the 2600 and 2900 just confuses things

Actually 2100 = DSM HD pressure plate

Actually 2600 = DSM XT pressure plate

2900lbs - EVO HD pressure plate

3250lbs - EVO XT pressure plate

I see this is posted within the newbie section so you're forgiven for the misinfo.

im running the ACT XT w/ the 6 puck sprung disc. Got it w/ the Gruppe S flywheel combo. Great price, lil' over 649.00 or so. Can't beat that! I was also concerned w/ reviews regarding high rpm lockout etc... but i have yet to have any issues at all. I had lockout w/ the stocker... now i can shift at 7500-8000rpm smoothly! I realize my new shepherd transmission has alot to do w/ it also... but the clutch engages/disengages really clean, it grabs like hell, and peddle pressure just slightly increased. IN fact i like the stiffer pedal as it makes for a more positive feel when shifting. I was skeptical from all the negative posts, but GLAD i went w/ my gut and got it! its an awesome clutch... Dont get me wrong i think the Twin Discs are badass, but i just dont need a 1500 clutch right now and my current mods don't warrant the need for it. ACT clutch is doing more than what i need for now. I've heard of the talked about issues w/ EVERY clutch, so im leaning to the fact that its got more to do w/ the driver's technique, clutch adjustment, etc... ANY clutch disc that you burn up, will risk sticking to the flywheel or pressure plate causing it to spin although disengaged and cause your lockout etc... I don't believe its the BRAND that does it. Just speaking from my own experiences... just personally no issues w/ ACT so far.

You are one of the lucky ones with the xt and no lockouts Tom.

The shift fork is attached to the release bearing, not the clutch and only works when your foot is on the pedal so how is it the fault of ACT or the clutch that your car broke a shift fork? That makes no sense . Bad drivers shatter syncros, not clutches. Your entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts and right now what you're saying doesn't add up.

People still call ACT's 2600 and 2900 for dsm's. Only after I got my EVO and looked up parts for did I ever see them called differently. But basically the street clutch setup is equivalent to the 2600...correct?

You can get a 2900 for any DSM

Sales@ACT

ACT never has sold or marketed any of our clutches by the terms 2100 or 2600 or any variation thereof. The clamp load ratings mentioned are typically used when speaking about our DSM clutch line.

To answer your question above the answer is no, there is no such thing as a ACT 2600 for any Evo VIII or IX. The HD pressure plate for DSM a is 2100 lbs, the HD for the Evo is 2900 lbs. The term street clutch by our definition refers to any ACT pressure plate combination that uses a full face organic street disc.

In the case of the Evo that would be the MB7-HDSS or the MB7-XTSS. Both are considered street friendly clutches, but have different clamp loads. As mentioned earlier by TTP using DSM terms to apply to Evo clutches or any other car for that matter leads to confusion and misinformation. For example there can be no ACT 2100 for an Evo because the stock Evo clutch is already rated at 2200 lbs of clamping force.

FYI the clamp loads we offer for the DSM's are 2100, 2600, 2900 & 3200.

I can't tell you how nice it is to have an actual product company providing feedback to our discussions. If only other companies provided this level of direct communication. Well done, ACT. Well done.
