I Have an STD

my buddy had his action f ucking EVAPORATE on him at th track. freshly broken in (correctly) with his beson sleeved b16 and 16 psi or boost. the pucks just gave up and came off in pieces. BUT action gave him a good deal on a new one and he'll be putting it in soon so the car can come out in the spring. i think hes an idiot for using it again, but its his car

I had an Action 2md for 30k miles and the splines inside the clutch disc where it goes onto the mainshaft completely stripped. I tried contacting them with no response. I ended up going with another 2ms as i figured it was a freak incident but ive been seeing more and more problems with these. I probably wont get another one next time around.

ACT xtreme pressure plate with an ACT street/strip disc, works nicely.

The act is the same one i use in 3 dif cars, so i would recommend that if you cant get the comp twin disk.

i run the act xtss... its ok... has never slipped yet... and i have run as much as 20psi before. its engages very fast and is a pain in the *** if you get caught in stop/go traffic... but i cant complain... its good...

I have an action 2ms. It feels great. Not as hard as expected, plus the engagement is nice and smooth! It does fine in daily driving/traffic. Plus the guys at action provide good advice. Call them up!

Good luck with whatever you choose.

ive had the ACT HDSS, XTR6, and XTSS, and id pick the XTSS for a daily driver. holds real good and isnt too bad for daily driving, very little if no clutch chatter too. the six puck was pretty bad rolling out of first and it shook the **** out of the whole car.

I think ACT makes great clutches. I had an XTSS, then bought a six puck sprung disc from another company, but still use the same XT pressure plate. The only reason I did this is because ACT didn't offer sprung 6 puck discs for my car. The organic disc was still good, but I didn't want to take a chance of it slipping on the dyno, even though it probably could've handled the power. The pedal effort is stiff, but 90% of the time it doesn't bother me. If you're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic it can be a real workout! By the way, any 4 puck or 6 puck will have harsh engagement, but you get used to it.

Thanks for the replys guys, looks like I'm going to stick with ACT, and get the XXTR6. I will just have to suck it up for driving in traffic every once and a while. It's not a daily driver, but it will be out in traffic every weekend. I am even thinking of the XTSS, but I don't want to buy a clutch and have the disc start slipping if I decide to up the boost in a couple of months. So I'm stuck between the XXTR6 vs. XTSS.

Mugencrxsir1

By the way, the engine is not quite done yet, but I plan for 350-400hp at around 15psi. So I'm worried about the XTSS disc holding, but I know the XTR6 will hold. I want the smoothness of the SS disc, but the strength of the 6puck. I guess I will have to just get us to the 6 puck.

running the act XTSS and love it.

the poster of that thread likes ACTION and plans to buy another one as it says in the thread.

I like the clutch... just like any product, your going to have failures. overall I think Action is great for the money.

for the poster... dude your not ever going to get a strait answer because your asking a question that will only result in opinions... which of course vary.

people who previously only used stock clutch may think unsprung 6 puck is too harsh, people with experience in race clutches may not think its harsh... like other people said you get use to it. if not, then get some more exercise!!

Clutchmasters stage 1 and it did well for me at 270whp/175wtq, now running Clutchmasters stage 4 6 puck and going to be making 450ish whp

i got a SPEC stage III, its a 6 puck. if you like the stock feeling with easy engagement and no chatter that will hold. get it. i like it

A friend of mine used an ACT clutch in his civic and I hated it, ya had to slam it all the way down to the floor to shift.

I personally use Competition Clutch, Clutch pedal feels like stock but grabs like hell.

ACTman

If you have any questions regarding ACT or clutches in general let me know. I would be glad to help. There is a lot of mis-information out there.

Drives great and no problems yet, I'll get a twin next time.

Any use a tilton single plate? I hear they have nice engagement and they're a bit cheaper than the twins. How much do they hold?
