can someone tell me what i have to do to break in my action clutch properly.

thanks

 

I wouldn't mind to know either. Just put my stage 2KS in yesterday.

 

break in procedure should be same for most clutches. Break in should consist of various driving stop start usually below 4500 rpm shifts. Due this for 400-500 miles and you are set.

 

up

 

I just got my Action Stage 2KS in today...what a leg workout...I'll have to get use to it. I'll be breaking it in for 500 miles before any hard driving.

When I talked to rocket about break in he said 2 weeks.

 

how much worst is it then stock?

 

That's not what I want to hear! I hated my brother's Del Sol because it was so hard to press the clutch with his ACT extreme PP and 6 puck disc. Don't tell me my Action is going to be the same way!?

 

i have the 2ks and its not bad at all. nice and smooth and pressure only gets bad for me after driving a lot. but then its still not bad. dont worry at all. my friend has an act and its much harder to push.

 

That's what I wanted to hear .

 

The pedal pressure takes some time to get use to. I agree with the pressure getting bad after driving it a lot. Other than that...it feels normal to me now. I guess it just takes time for your left leg to get use to. Don't worry guys...you won't have a problem.

 

It's a pretty heavy pedal pressure...when I first drove the car again...lets just say that I thought I had no chance of getting use to the pressure. It's nothing to me now...Don't get scared guys.

 

you will all get used to it, it loosens up after a while too.

 

really, dont worry. i have an 89 plymouth voyager thats stock pedal pressure is about the same. the pressure plate is a big meaty thing that scared me when i held it, but once it was in my fears were melted away by the sweet sweet kevlar engagement. ahhhhhhh. kevlar, and the idea of never buying another clutch disc is wonderful. to Rocket.

 

act says that for their 6puc clutch you dont even need to break it in...

 

cant wait to get the 2MD in....
thx rocket...

 

Have fun...the pedal pressure should be the same for the 2MD.

 

how involing is the install of a new clutch?

 

hardest thing ever!!! no, j/k. i did mine when i did my swap so i didnt have to drop the tranny. so it was pretty easy for me.

 

how hard is it to drop the tranny out? and whats required to do that?

should I even attempt to do it or get it done for around 360?

Its actually pritty easy as long as you have some mechanical knowlidge, skill and common sense you should be able to do it.
I'd say go ahead and do it yourself and save the $360 for some other mods...

As fahr as pedal pressure goes the 2md feels just a tad bitt stiffer than a stock clutch (at least it did in my gsr) but overall I think that the clutch is great...

Break in Period: Hahaha this is actually a pritty funny subject but all I'm gona say is this, as soon as I put the clutch in the car I took it around the block to see how the clutch felt and drove the car on to a trailer. The next day I introduced it to its break in period at the track starting off with a 2nd gear burn out on 24.5x8" slicks and than a 5500rpm dump. The second time around I did a longer 2nd gear burn out and a 7000rpm drop and so forth...
Right now the clutch still feels as good as the first time I drove around the block...

Now I'm not trying to encourage anybody else to do the same thing I did but I just thought I would share the experiance and just prove that these clutches will hold anything from the git go...

Thanks for the bandwith...

Well I have a bad feeling that I wont be able to hold out for 500 miles...

I mean Im not nearly as suicidal to try to burn 350 bucks up cuz i cant afford to, but maybe after a few hundred miles ill give it some frills...

good to know they can hold out though...now i just need to find that flywheel thread and get a good flywheel (if I even need one that is).

 

I broke it in for 400 miles...couldn't resist...grabs so nice.
