I just installed a new longblock into my DC2 and noticed my ACT 6 puck unsprung hub disc was almost gone. This clutch disc was the harshest engagement i ever experienced and I loved it on the track but redlight to redlight was annoying. As harsh as the clutch was, I see why it didnt last long.

So I also have an Exedy stage 2 solid disc clutch that has hardly been used. I mean alot of life left on this thing. Decided to mate it with the ACT Xtreme pressure plate.

Long story short, I mated the ACT Extreme pressure plate to the Exedy disc. I have good pedal pressure. Just installed new Slave and bled. Flywheel was turned properly. Also installed new Throwout bearing(release bearing) and pilot bearing. I have no clutch action, I mean. With the engine running, I dont have to push the pedal and I can run the shifter all through the gears. I got nothing.

Are these possibly not compatible? I called ACT and the disc thickness they use on their discs in combination with this pressure plate is 0.315

I have left exedy numerous messages and they seem busy as i would expect. I want to get their disc thickness measurement to be sure theirs and ACTs are the same. If this is the case and they are the same then the exedy disc and ACT Xtreme pressure plate should be compatible and im thinking the problem lies elsewhere. Correct me if I am wrong. If the clutch disc thicknesses are different, then i would think this is my problem. However if they are the same and are compatible, then wtf is going on here??? Could it be pedal adjustment??? I would not think so being hydraulic? Any knowledgable information would be helpful. I really dont want misinformation so if you are not sure about this, please dont elaborate on a response. Thanks everybody.

Still waiting to hear from exedy on their disc thickness.
