I've had a new ACT full face clutch for about 2 months now and it was working fine until about last week. Just in a couple of days the clutch's grabbing power has completely disappeared. The pressure on the clutch pedal is fine but it grabs worse than my stock clutch did. And I noticed this during daily driving, that's what has me stumped. I don't powershift or ever get on the clutch, no need to due to boost. I was running an unsprung 6 puck before going to full face (before boost). I know the full face can hold a considerable amount of power, and this seems way to soon for it to go out. Car has been used for driving to school and work. I could really use some advice here. Any comments or insight on this would help.

Specifics:
97 Boosted Integra LS – stock Greddy boost
On crappy steelies

Inspection of parts 2 Months Ago: (When the full face was put in)
Used Pressure Plate (In good condition)
Used Disc (Was then resurfaced)
Used Prolite Flywheel (In good condition)
GSR Tranny (Good condition)
...I know

 

probably 1 of 3 things i would check...

1. The clutch pedal adjustment is within spec for the new clutch....ive installed clutches and found that the pedal was out of spec afterwards, this could lead to very premature clutch wear.

2. The amount of power you may be making might be too much for the clutch's rated holding capacity. I know you said you dont ride the clutch or powershift but simply boosting MAY make the clutch lose friction with the engine and eventually will wear the disc out.

3. The flywheel mentioned was purchased used in "good" condition. Worst case scenario...pull the tranny off and check the runout on the flywheel with a dial indicator to make sure that the flywheel isnt warped slightly...again this will wear your clutch disc quickly!

Hopefully this gives some leads

 

Hmm, all the used parts that I stated were bought new in an ACT Clutch kit with my original 6 puck clutch. I'm not making more than 200 hp to the ground, but I do have crappy tires, and 2nd gear does spin. So the clutch does in fact have trouble grabbing, and this is why I never get on it in 1st. I thought that the full face was able to handle up to 300 hp. Thanks for the advice, can anyone else elaborate on this topic?

 

So is the are you guys sure that the pressure plate is the culprit here?
