i think everyone loves what they have until they go from cletchmaster to act and realise act is so much better

 

Aren't you worried about the fact that the ACT 6 puck disc has a solid hub? How bad is it having a solid hub disc for daily driving? I would be worried about breaking the tranny or the rest of the drivetrain.

 

have any of u heard about clutchnet?

 

i have had the unsprung 6 puck and its fine for daily driving (this is with heavy duty pressure plate tho)

Yea, there isn't too much to driving a 6 puck... It isn't as smooth as a street disk but a street disk will in no way be able to hold back 20lbs... I've actually never driven an ACT clutch with a street disk nor do i ever want to... Just my $0.02... Peace

 

love my cm stage 4. had it installed, drove home, put on the slicks and broke it in.

 

ACT HDSS clutch and combo it with ACT Streetlite flywheel....good engagement, and good pedal feel, not a lot of effort at all.

 

ClutchMasters Stage 3 or 4 Highly recommended!

 

ClutchMasters stage 4 had it for a 1.5 years no problems still grips and softer then the ACT street cuz i use to have ACT street, so i know. CM any given day. only the 3,4,5 are good and the rest dont bother.

 

i had a clutchmaster clutch and the spring broke on the disk. i changed to ACT HDSS and i will never change. i have nothing but good things to say about ACT.

 

I have heard nothing but good things about CM Stage 3. Although at this point I am leaning toward the Action 2KS Dual Diaphragm clutch kit!

 

Has anyone one herd of using the stock pp but using like an clthmst. clutch disc? how do these hold out?

I use an ACT heavy duty pressure plate and the pedal pressure is perfect, feels a little firmer than a stock honda clutch which i personally think feels way too soft. It grabs hard and never slips. Its funny when my friends drive it though cause they usually bark the tires a little the first time they let off, im used to it so it feels soft to me LOL.

 

go with action clutch!!

 

i just bought a act xtss

If you can find a bad word about ACT on this site, please tell us where. I've done a lot of research and have heard of exactly zero failures to date.

Like 5 or 6 other people in this thread, every now and then you hear about a CM popping a hub spring. A lot of people here have had good experiences with CM's though, INCLUDING MYSELF. However, next time, it's ACT for me.

 

Why next time would you got ACT?

Wow thats pretty nuts, thats alot of torque capacity.

I have a HDSS ACT clutch w/ ITR flywheel. I love how smooth the engagement is, yet grabs very hard when I need it to. I was worried about pedal pressure with me having an old school cable clutch instead of hydrolic... but it really isnt bad at all. to ACT... I did the same thing and did alot of looking around about people badmouthing ACT and honestly I didnt really find any....

 

No complaints thus far w/ my ACT.

Customer satisfaction rate. Why take a chance on a CM hub spring popping out when I can get an ACT for the same price + a virtual 100% satisfaction guarantee.

 

I have installed about 8 ACT clutches in bseries swaps. They are great! long lasting and feel great. The XT pressure plate is kinda excessive but i guess if you were making a ton of torque the HD might slip..maybe. XTSS or HDSS you can't go wrong.

 

yeah Clutchmasters works for me

i had an ACT extreme and the damn plate had a broken strap after like 500 miles ...maybe just my bad luck ...or just no quality assurance on ACt tech's part

 

How long ago was it that the straps broke? We have had very little trouble with straps and rivets on our previous design. Ever since we started stamping out own clutch covers (a year ago) to make room for larger straps and rivets, as far as I know the problems have been eliminated. It wasn't a matter of quality assurance, but lack of space for beefier parts! Even then, strap failures were very rare. Maybe you are right...bad luck. Did you send it to us for a fix?
