I have a PTT Twin in my convertible. No problems here. Ended up getting it for $125 and a set of 880cc injectors otherwise I probably would have just ordered a new ACT setup. They kinda suck in stop and go traffic but other than that, I like it. A little noisy but I got over it quick.

Heh... This car sees about 2500 miles a year, and 1/4 of that is 'Style cruises, 1/4 is the proving ground, and the rest is being a jackass on the weekends.

About the only time I drive it is when it's time to get rowdy and make a lot of noise, so I doubt I'd even hear the clutch chatter.

Based on the some of the intel from this thread, I am currently pursuing JET's clutch. Hopefully this will be the ticket.

PTT is Garbage. It blew up on a 2nd gear pull on my car and stripped all the splines off my input shaft. And they customer service is just as shitty. Get a Quarter Master GEAR-DRIVE Rally 7.25" V-Drive Twin Disk Clutch. And Get it from TMZ Performance. Tim designed it. Best damn clutch i've felt in any mitsu. Holds power and feels nice and smooth. Also for those of you who care it doesn't make alot of noise.

I'm sure you already know, but act redesigned their PP's and discs awhile ago. Thus if you happen to be using mismatched disc and PP's, they will likely drag at lower rpms. Just throwing that out there in case you didnt already know.



Do you happen to have a link on this? or know when it changed?

No link sorry. But it was maybe 5-6 years ago when RRE replaced my disc? Can't remember exactly. Bet if you did a search on the Link forums or something you would find more info.

I can’t wait to use my ptt twin. It will be nice to get that stock pedal back!I’m not sure why anyone would call it garbage. Their customer service is grate actually. I have been talking to them over the last few weeks. They reply with answers within a few hours via email. Also returned all my calls that day. If you fallow the simple instructions and use the Isuzu slave they last and work grate. My act would drag also. Got sick of spending money on shipping my trans to shep every winter haha.

I had the Isuzu salve. Clutch failed the following morning after i got the car tuned. They answered all my questions and were nice to me to. until i had issues. See almost every vendor will be nice when everything is ok. Its when something goes wrong when you see their true colors. PTT customer service suck knat balls. They said to me that a 900+whp car runs a PTT clutch at the track and he doubted I was making anywhere near that much power. WTF? I stated I had a 70mm turbo so I was making some decent power. I shot down his BS so he then goes on to blame my trans builder smh. This is that happened to me http://www.teamrip.com/clutch_info.html

My act 2600 drags at high rpm as well. I get locked out above 6400 rpm, I wish I had a twin disk clutch.

^A 6 puck disk would probably suit your power level better. And its like $125. LOL
