Did you strangle the dousche bags in question yet?
Hey Mike, what clutch do you have in your car? I couldnt rememeber. I am considering the ACT Extreme, but was also contenplating the Exedy Single. have you had either of theses? I have heard pretty good things about the ACT from the value standpoint, and I know a few Locals run it and say nothing but good things. I dont want to spend 2 Grand on a clutch.

morning biatch's, Pete is right, the ACT sometimes has problems with "gear lock out" which is how some people put it. Pretty much not letting you go into the next gear under heavy load conditions......but this doesn't happen to often. Personally i have always loved Exedy.....from other clutch's i have drivin' i have concluded that Exedy is the best

if that act has trouble at High RPM, that would really suck considering thats where I want to be shifting....No?

So Nez Being the upstanding citizen you are, When are you getting this installed, and do you think i could check it out once its in. People are freaking me out telling me about the noise its going to make and Trans is going to explode and...well you get the idea. My clutch is still holding up, but it is probably not long for this world too much longer.

I have the ACT Extreme. I don't like it. I think it is an underdeveloped clutch, meaning they have a higher clamp force than any other clutch out there (2900lbs) This makes for a left leg work out, the pedal is much more firm than I would like it. The high rpm lock-out is a major PITA and it hapens all the time. It happened at the drag strip with Nez in the car. I would steer clear of this clutch and if you have the money go with a Tilton or ATS. Much better design than the Exedy and they have been proven over the last few decades. I have driven a tilton, ATS, and an Exedy clutch and still my favorite for pedal modulation comfort and grip has to go to the Tilton followed by the ATS. The Tilton loves high rpm shifting, and it will never miss the gear thanks to the hyd. TOB. There is no more slave cylinder or clutch fork. It's a push type clutch which makes it a tad easier to modulate than the ATS or Exedy.
The ACT is crap and I would never recommend one to anyone. It maight make for a decent street disk but for racing applications it sucks. Like I said it has a higher clamp load than any other ctuch out there, thats how they claim it can handle 497lb/ft of tq. If I could do it all over again I would have went back to a stock cutch, never had a problem with that until the hp started to rise above 320whp.
Forgot to add the tilton is only 100-150 more than the exedy twin
