My ACT extreme presser plate and street /strip disc started slipping last night
So a friend is giving me a his Clutch Net stage two or something like that presser plat and a four puck unsprung plat will I like it or will I hate it for daily driving.

 

I just ordered a 6 puck unsprung Action clutch from ksmotorsports last week. Ill let you know in a few days.

 

I got the Action 2md clutch from KS-Motorsports; its a 6puck unsprung. Great clutch, not too stiff and grabs great. Its a little hard to get used to the instant engagement. Its slipping on me unfortunately and its supposed to hold approx. 350ftlbs of torque...I make about 260...

I believe I'm goin to a twin disk setup..

 

Action 1MD in my old Y8 was awesome. No chatter, held great, drivability was nearly stock. So when I got my B18B, I went with another Action 1MD, but this time around the clutch isn't so forgiving. If I engage it too quickly, I get chatter, if I engage it too slowly, I get this god awful squeal that sounds like the (brand new) throwout bearing is dying. There's a pretty small window for smooth engagement/decent launching, unless I'm behind another car, then I can hold it right at the point where it starts to grab while slowly increasing the revs until the car gets rolling and it'll engage smoothly. All this is not to say that it's not streetable, but it does take a bit of concentration to achieve smooth engagement.

 

well i wont to put it in tommrow so maybe i will tell you how it is
and this is a 4 puck it will grab harder wont it.

Yeah, a 4-puck should engage harsher than a 6-puck.

 

Ross, you will be fine I had a 6 puck unsprung and its no problem it took me 2 blocks to get used to it and now that clutch is in jasons car and he has no problem with it driving it everyday..

How did you like that act while it lasted??

Adi

 

i have a Act Extreme PP and 6 puck Disc.......... I am used to it now... Love it

 

I liked the act a lot Adi I wish it would hold up to the snail

This is going to be a 4 puck do you think I will like it every body keeps telling me they have a 6 puck I wont to hear about the 4 puck

 

I'm running an act 4 puck an xtreme pp in my turbo car, you get used to it.

 

Dude it will be fine, its gona grab a little harder but thats what you want anyways..
The only thing is I don't know how good that clutchnet is.. But you will be fine with it.

Adi

 

i'm running an action 6puck unsprung in my b16 hatch.. i love it.

 

Well thanks every body for telling your experiences I would still like to hair from some people with the unsprung 4 puck.

Adi
It looks like your doing a little work on the teg are you going to get that thing back on the road or what and how is the turbo kit for Simpson’s car going are you still making one for him.

 

3 puck unsprung hub, Clutchmaster Stage 5, daily driven through traffic.
Pedal pressure depends on the pressure plate. You'll learn how to feather the clutch to reduce or eliminate chatter.

Same here, I've put 12k miles on my 2MD so far... It's been a great clutch, it is still holding out pretty well despite daily driving in stop and go.

I don't have any firsthand experience with ACT, but a local shop stopped selling and installing all clutches except Action Clutch because too many people were having issues with other brands - ACT, Clutchmasters, etc.. and they felt it reflected negatively on their shop. I would definitely give Action a shot, they make some bad *** clutches. I just bled my clutch fluid last month and now my 2MD feels almost like new, I love it.

 

am running a 4puck it do shake you to death if you try to ride it but other then that i love , and you will get use to it and drive it easy

but i do have a sprung hub but i do have the highest press load clamping force presser plate, next clutch up the list is the twin disc

 

I run an ACT extreme pp and 6 puck unsprung disk. Like everybody else has said, you'll get used to it.

 

I had a clutchnet stage 2 that lasted me 6 months but ATE my flywheel. There were a bunch of posts about this a little while back.

 

Ate you flywheel like that what when bad or it just caused alot or ware on it
