Are all ACT Pressure plates yellow ???

[Nexius]

I just saw a picture of an ACT pressure plate and it doesn't look like the ACT2600 I installed. Mine wasn't painted and had no markings at all. Does ACT ship pressure plates that aren't painted ? Pedal pressure is increased but is it really an ACT2600??? Did I get screwed ???

yes, all ACT pressure plates are yellow, I'm in a process of installing a stage I ACT clutch on my 1G eclipse GSX. My stock pressure plate looks exactly the same as the ACT but ACT pressure plate in painted in yellow. maybe your pressure plate is stock and your clutch is ACT, go figure out what kind of clutch you have, check out the website or something, what stage is your pressure plate??? some ACT pressure plate is bigger according to their stages, good luck figuring oout, I hope you did not get screwed.

well if they are all yellow ... what did I install??? guess I was screwed by summit racing ... I just e-mailed ACT for the confirmation and to know what they can do since I still have the bill and they sponsor summit racing. I'll let you guys know if summit racing or ACT will correct the situation in all honesty or if they dont mind screwing people.

I'll keep you guys posted ... as for the clutch I installed ... we'll never know what it is .

Thanks.

like what i said some ACT pressure plate has bigger plate like the ACT extreme or something like that, but mine is just a stage 1 just like a street stage ACT not Drag. well do you have your stock pressure plate?? if they are the same and the clutch is different you probably got an act clutch and stock pressure plate, if you have stage 1 just like mine it doesn't matter if it is painted or not, because they are exactly the same unless you oredered a extreme ACT--they have different pressure plate --and it's yellow. I can't explain it, maybe it's a factory defect--they must have forgotten to paint your pressure plate-- just kiddin' bro.

Well the (unpainted act2600 I wish!) is on the car right now so it would be hard to compare. The act2600 #MB1-XTSS is a street disk with a "high capacity" pressure plate. I got what looked like an ordinary street disk with and ordinarily looking pressure plate in an ordinary box. with no alignment tool and no bearing.

 

[eLeCtRoN_bLu]

it doesn't come with a throw out bearing?? it should, man you better call summit racing.

 

[eLeCtRoN_bLu]

ACT should come with throw-out bearing in an ACT box , it also come with ACT yellow stickers. go call them again-- if you want.

my 2100 is yellow and every ACT clutch pressure plate ive ever seen has been yellow..its like a trademark thing

 

[boostineklipz]

I got my confirmation from ACT ! Now it's up to Summit to correct the mistake.. I'll keep you guys posted as to the outcome .. Thanks for your help.
This was the mail I got from ACT :
----------------------
I'm sorry to say but it does look like something is not right!
It's true, every Pressure Plate that leaves our Manufacturing Warehouse is painted yellow with no exceptions.
There's really nothing I can do but encourage you to return the product with this information inquiring as to whether or not these are genuine ACT parts.
Summit does purchase from Ram that uses our drive plates for their Race Disc's but this should not have anything to do with the Pressure Plate.

Thanks,

All act pressure plates have the "model" number stamped on the back of the fingers. you can look there to make sure you get the right pp. On a side note until a few months ago they did not label the black cardboard that the pp is shrink wrapped to...I called them a week ago about mine cause it looked odd. The disk should have copper wire woven into the fibrus material. I don't know if they come with an ACT TOB but they should come with some kind of TOB if you get it from act. If you bought it from summit or somewhere else then it could have some other TOB I think, not sure tho. The disc should have also come in a shrink wrapped package that is labeled with the "model" number of the disc. If you go to acts site there is a little popup that will state what the model numbers mean.

advice:never buy from summit, just buy from a local motorsports

Summit has always been good to me , price wise and in cutomer service.
Im sure if they made a mistake it wasnt intentional and they will make it right.

 

[hostile]

Why would a brand name clutch come in a plain box with no literature.

Sounds like you would have really noticed. Maybe you should make them give you a second clutch free, then run this one till it breaks.

Just make sure it is yellow this time.

Summit has the best customer service by far, and the fastest shipping around. The only thing I have a complaint about is their prices. Maybe their higher prices are due to their dedication to good customer service and fast shipment.

Every ACT PP I've seen/installed has been yellow. And it has been a lot of them. They also have the part number stamped in them. 2600 lb PP is stamped MB-010X

mine is yellow( I have a pic in my gallery i think)

oh, and dont use the ACT throw-out bearing. I had to drop my tranny again to put an OEM bearing in
