u should have atleast given it 350 miles, the recommended is 450-500, u just messed your clutch up. sorry to hear that. they recommend a break in period for a reason

to bad that you guys are wrong. cause ACT sends a letter with the clutch saying 2 to 300 mile break in period. so i gave it the right amount of time. and i figured out the problem. it was just the tires spinning all the way up to 65.

ACT... ALWAYS CRACKING TRANNYS... Thats waht it stands for.

When I had an ACT clutch and pp in my car, I blew 3 tranny's in a matter of 8 months.
187 ACT FF Organic w/ Extreme PP. Well anyway the break in period on that clutch is approximated at 350 miles.
