Because it is Mitsu?

Pull style *can* have some advantages with tighter packaging I am pretty sure, but they really don't seem to work nearly as well...

I never really tried shifting as hard as I did at the track. My best run was my first run, after that I would get locked out even at 5500rpm's. Im going to try a 6 puck first and then if that doesnt work out for me, than I will go with the twin.

ACT HDG6 for the evo or nothing else when it comes to ACT. Their street discs lock out at high RPMs. ACT street discs are as shitty as their 6puck sprung is awesome when it somes to the evo.

I have 14k on my ACT HDG6 and I was shifting lightning fast at 8200rpms on 11 drag passes with zero lock out this weekend. At least 30 some odd launches so far. I hot lapped dragged three runs back to back all in about 5 minutes and the clutch never slipped or complained. 11.1@126 was best time and that was NLTS shiffting with a 1.658 60'.

I had a couple people at BIR try to tell me my clutch sucks and lockouts, funny stuff.

I saw you jim and you were not having any problems. You probably saw me on the track sucking it up. I could not get it into any gear over 5500 once, every shift locked out. I may just pick up a act 6 puck clutch disc and try that out.

I would have said Hi but by the time I noticed another silver evo it was late in the day and couldn't find where you were at in the pits. Yeah it looked like you were having shifting issues, how frustrating. :(

You can spend some time playing with the adjustment rod, cruise switch/stopper and relieving pressure in the system until it works better. I have had some luck doing that to get rid of lockout with the ACT street disc, but often the engagement point ends up being very high.

I would do anything to get rid of it at least a little bit. I want some 11's this year with whatever it takes.

Well, just get a 6 puck in there and you'll be fine. I made sure to not get a street disc because the ACT guy (ACTman on EvoM) told me the full face discs were known to lock out because they're heavier than the stock discs. Shep told me the same thing. Just get a 6 puck in there (sprung or unsprung) and you'll be fine. Also, my unsprung one lasted... 60k miles hahaha. It finally just got switched out this year.

Thats insane! Very impressive though. I assume it even had plenty of abuse and launches on it?
