Im done with ACT products
 

I went to the track with the expectations of 11s. I have the power and I have good 60 foot times. I just have a lockout in every gear with shifting above 5500 rpm's. I bought the Act hdss clutch kit a little over a year ago and it doesnt slip at all, it just locks out all the fucking time. I could only manage a 12.3 with a 60ft of 1.69. I know act clutches are ok for dsm's but I just cant believe how terrable this clutch is for the evo. Im thinking of the competition clutch but how much power can these really hold up to, I need something that will hold up for over 400hp and 400tq.

what year is your car?

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

I'm not making as much power as you are, but I have the competition stage 4 clutch in my DSM and I love it. Much better than my old ACT 2600/street disc.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

go with a spec stage 3+ i love mine, never slips at all and have never had any issues with it

He has an 03Evo 8. I think he needs a twin disk...

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

i agree with your signature. you do need a shep trans....and so do I!! sucks when that happens though.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

I don't get it....do you have the same problem on the street? How did you not konw about this problem before hitting the drag strip.....does no one practice before they go? ;)

Not really. I'm 99% sure Jim has the SAME clutch. He's making more power, he made 20+ runs down the drag strip this weekend and from what I hear, he had better than good results with it. TwinDiscs are NOT the end-all solution that people make them out to be, especially on a DD street car.

Jim has a sprung 6-puck, I'm pretty sure Mike has the street disc. Shawn was also getting lock-out on nearly every pass yesterday and he never has gotten it on the street. The ACT street discs just do not allow high RPM fast shifting.

No sir, this requires breaking the laws. Unless the car is stock, can't be on it for long before exceeding the speed limit.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

It would be nearly impossible to simulate dragstrip conditions on the street. A hard launch + rowing through 4-5 gears + skyrocketing adrenaline.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

Yea, you can't run the street disc on the Evo's. That's been a known issue for many years.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

Ahhh, I see! F U ACT and your full-face discs!

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

I've never had a problem shifting with the street disks on my DSMs or Galant

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

Evo's are setup differently.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

I'm certain my car has an ACT clutch in it and I have never been locked out of gear.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

Funny that at the same time this thread is going on there is a huge one on EvoM about the same thing.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

Just don't replace it with a Comp Clutch, unless they fixed their failure problems.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

We'll see shortly...
Its really quite frustrating b/c it seems like all clutches for the Evo, single and twin, are failing at a very high rate compared to most cars.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

Pull style sucks.

Re: Im done with ACT products
 

Yup :( Any idea what Mitsu's reasoning would be?
