i got the action six puck unsprung clutch with my fidanza light weight flywheel. it's in a hatch with gsr swap b16 tranny. broke my passenger side axles today badly, a part of the axles was inside the tranny and i had to hit it from the other side so it'll come out. any chances of me even lasting 3 runs at the track?

dont launch so high and you wont snaps axle with that setup depending on tires 3500 rpms is plenty for launch

lilo_goki

well i wasn't even launching, that was the problem, i just shifted from first to second and it axles snap. before, the axles was leaking anyways from the boot, so i think that's the problem. if i don't launch higher than 3500, i will bog out, i'm using bfgoodrich drag radials, i usuall lauch at 7k with my b16 and below 7k it will bog out.

Start by not dropping the clutch during the launch...if you are that is. Sometimes an axle will break because it popped out. Make sure they're in there all the way. GL!

there is absolutely no need to launch at 7k i run the same tires have also run azenas and lots of others 3500 is perfect

Its not the clutch breaking the axle its either A. Engine alignment or B. Driver error. Ease off the clutch between shifts, dont just drop it. 7k is fine launching as long as your doing it right.

i launch on slicks anywhere between 5.5-7k with stock axles. if you are sheering them off at the transmission im gonna say that youre dropping the clutch from 7k and not preloading the transmission.

why did you go with a puck disk? is this a daily driver?

slambedcivic

not that it matters for the OPs sake, but ive gotta 6 puck sprung disc in my GSR. i daily it. and my built ITR has an unsprung 6 puck. both very streetable.

Brick Top

puck disk aren't difficult to drive, they just don't last on daily drivers. there's no life to them. mine wore down so fast, it was pulled out after 10k miles. + the rivets ate my flywheel up. thats why clutch companys label their kits as "street" or "strip" applications. there aren't talking about driveability. it's all about the clamping force from the pressure plate.

not to mention, broken axles have no relation to the clutch anyway.

i have the action 2md unsprung 6 puck clutch as well
never had a problem with it
i daily drive 80+ miles per day and is about a year old so...
i did break an axle however it was old and clicking before the clutch install.
it didn't last long after this clutch install tho

daily driving and track use are 2 WAY different ball games though

95jeremie

never said that they were
i don't drive my car like it's on a track but i do beat the **** out of it
and the only reason i mentioned that in the first place is all the comments about them not lasting in a DD situation

ok so OP:
what's the deal are they breaking or falling out?

im pretty sure he was referring to things on the track. i may be wrong. but ive never seen anyone launch on the street and bog out just under 7k rpms. lol.

at any rate, i now see that there are 2 threads by him/her. hopefully they get this resolved

lilo_goki

my axles keeps on popping out once in a while with the action 2md clutch. what could be wrong. it's the passenger side axles that pops out when i tried to floor it.

95jeremie

just my opinion but i would replace it with a new one
**** 60 bucks and 20 min tops
