My ACT clutch blows master cylinders
Thursday, October 06, 2005 9:19 AM
I am so tired of this clutch !
For 2 years now I can't seam to hold preassure on the system.
Each time it gets bled it will slowly over time loose preasure takes about 2 months for the gears not to grab.
And it also blows master cylinders on my third !
Any suggestion beside putting a stock clutch in ?

HA, you got screwed TOO. At least they used lube on you. After 15 minutes of driving my car with an ACT, clutch. The dam gears wouldn't go in. I replaced the master cylinder, the fluid umteen times, went through 2 slave cylinders and 650.00 just to return to a factory spec clucth, which still cost me 500.00 to get put in. Finally got the car back after a month in the shop of nobody knowing what the heck was going on. I had a horrible experince witht the product and even worse service from the company when i asked them what was wrong with it. Nobody knew anything. I now have a 450.00 PAPERWEIGHT!!!!!!!. I'm still not over it. Dirty swines.

But I hope that all goes well. Good luck.






I am what I am and it is what it is.

I just put in my act clutch and fidanza lightweight flywheel yesterday.I havent had any problems with it.It grabs as soon as i lift the clutch pedal off the floor.I didnt really have a chance to drive it.I only put like 30 miles on it,but so far so good.Atleat its better than the piece of @!#$ spec stage 2 i took out.That thing squeeled like a pig when i took off in first gear.Then 1 day i was at a red light light and i heard a pop noise.The squeeling went away,but when i took the clutch out,3 or 4 fingers on the pressure plate were bent.
Good luck.
