Took the car to the track last night for Test & tune and broke the clutch again , I Also broke one last month in the T & T after 4 pass only.

Hear the Pic from last month:

do you have all the bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel ?

 

Yes, I run only one fine pass with the ACT and got 11.02 in the morning, but in same day after noon the gear would't go into 2nd, so when i open it i saw that.

 

were all the bolts torqued to spec?

 

Yes sir.

 

My first thing would be to try to contact ACT, that's a strange break

 

how does the clutch feel when you engage and dis-enage it before the clutch took a dump?

Is the motor a stock motor/crank?

What were your torque specs and was your torque wrench calibrated?

Is it a stock pressure plate, ACT pressure plate? Was there any damage anywhere else, ie. pilot bearing , flywheel and so on?

It is a strange break, yet I have seen alll kinds of carnage from many clutchs out there. ACT will just ask him to send that one in and probably replace it, but that was on the first one. Being that its now 2 that have done the same thing it wouldn't be the clutch disc. Something else is wrong.

It feel normal when the car is cold, but after one run its feel hard to shift from gear to another and some time its stuck in one gear.

My motore B20 buttom and B16 head

Sounds like you got a Bent Shift Fork in the trans

 

Is it possible to put that disk on backwards?

 

ive never had success putting a clutch disk on backwards.. but i have seen a few built Backwards

After i removed the ACT clutch, I put exeady clutch kit S1 and the gear was shifting fine but its slipping with nitrous.

So, i think there is no problem with the trans.

No way to put the clutch backward, cuz the hup will touch with the flywheel.
