Action is a great clutch.!! it all depends on which one you get.!! now i seen alot of people use 6 puck single diaphram heavy duty clutches.. ACT 4 and 6 puck is kinda harsh to you trans and axles... the Honda Saver guys carry Action.hit up Rocket he will be able to get you one...i have a ACT street disk sohc kit brand new for sale

ACT HDSS
ACT XTSS

many here also use Action clutches. i've never used one and only heard about them when i started browsing through here. I've read they grip good, though.

I'm using an HDSS at 5 psi. feels almost stock with great grip.

I use the hdss, with the extreme pressure plate. very nice engagement and great grip. I'd recomend it. I've only been boosting for 400 miles but I've had the clutch for about 5000 and its just as good as new.

Off topic kinda, but I'll hijack the thread..

I'm in the market for a new clutch very soon, as 14PSI is really eating the stock spec one alive. I have a Centerforce Stage 2 in the truck, and it is -harsh- on the tranny. Grips really hard and bangs the hell out of the rear end.

I'm looking for something that grips good, but isn't such a hard action clutch. If I understand clutches right, the 4 puck/6 pucks tend to be the "hard snapping" clutches like my truck has.. so what would be a better choice?

Somewhere down the line, this clutch will be pitted against around 18PSI once I find a good FMIC, so that's also a consideration..

For that application, get the ACT HDSS. I loved mine from the day I got it to when I replaced it (more power).
