I recently had an ACT clutch(heavy-duty plate with the street disc) installed in my 98sh and i was hoping those with the same setup could let me know how there's has been. The problem is this, after I got the car back I noticed that it was leaking what looked to be transmission fluid so I brought it back to the mechanic who claims that he replaced a seal. The car continued to leak. It has since stopped leaking, but since the end of the break-in period the peddle has gotten very light, as light as stock if not lighter. The mechanic told me this was normal. I purchased this clutch under the assumption that it would have a heavier feel and so far that has not been the case. I fear that choosing the cheapest mechanic is my #1 problem. My question: Is what I'm experiencing normal or does this mechanic have something to fix?

Thanks, Tom

 

Try to find where the leak is......

But yeah, mine is just as soft as the normal clutch.

 

im on my second one. love the clutch. no way is it soft as stock. try bleeding ur clutch more. maybe thats ur problem.

 

choosing the cheapest mechanic is never the cheapest choice

lol....it comes back to bit you in the ***

 

my act clutch felt easier to push in then my stock clutch... the leak could be a seal or the transmission having too much fluid in it.....

 

I was thinking about bleeding the clutch again, but when I initially got the car back the clutch felt great. It wasn't until I put on a couple hundred miles that it got light. That said, could anything else cause the clutch to be soft/light other then air in the line?
Thanks for the replies,
