Is anyone running an ACT clutch?
apparently spec is garbage.. my block took a **** and when my buddy separated the trans from the motor he said the clutch material was starting to separate from itself. note i have only had this clutch on my car for less than a year. it was a spec 3+ with a stock flywheel. but anyways, to anyone who has bought an ACT clutch, how are they? im looking to get a 6 puck sprung clutch. and my biggest question is, do the ACT clutches come with a flywheel? thanks.

yeah, tell me about it.. well i personally never had any issues with it as far as daily driveability.. it was when going WOT, sometimes it just wouldnt go into gear.. really weird but messed me up at the track everytime i went. but im sure my clutch is toast.. i didnt get to see what it looks like yet but i will.

"06Black:
i ran a 3+ in my car and LOVED it. but you MUST get it with the non-SAC PP or the billet PP. other wise you get a OE unit that gets stuck over center at higher rev's
and the excedy is nice, but the pedal effort VS torque capacity doesn't add up at all. my 3+ drove super close to stock. "

"If you're just literally buying just a clutch and getting the stocker resurfaced...a spec 3+ isn't a bad idea AT ALL"
I asked this question about a month ago. I hear act is really good, but i hear Spec is not "Garbage"
Just want to get some facts about clutches out there cuz im tired of sifting through the opinionated bullshit when it comes time for shopping for parts. Finding good info about a quality LNF replacement clutch seems hard to come by

yeah, apparently its on my car.. i have an 07 ss/tc. but i havent seen the damage first hand yet.. but when i did have my car up and running, it worked lol.. i really can complain about the clutch honestly. besides of course it only lasting 10 months.

yea i mean thats some **** if it only lasted 10 months, i gotta hope that it was just a faulty piece they sent you n there not all like that, i really wish another spec 3+ guy would chime in n give some experiences but once again, its hard to find clutch advice on here. I havent heard anythign bad about act yet

stock pedal feel? nah it's about triple as stiff on the pedal, the engagement is really good and stuff, but the pedal pressure is much much higher.

hey I've been runiing on an act clutch kit for two years now n I don't drive like a lil old grandma lol I actually lent them my car so we could get a clutch made for our cars I'm running a 2006 ss/sc. I like the pedal feel its stiffer than stock but not crazy. But then again that's the organic performance disc so for the 6 puck should be a lil more tougher. This clutch has hanged for a while n been abused by accident but its a trooper.
