ACT 2600 Install

[PattyG]

Okay I finished installing my 2600 the other day and I drove it today and it's releases way to early like 2"s off the floor and it grinds horridly do I need a new extended slave cylinder rod
I've adjusted the clutch to the limit.

Ive heard taht the extended rod can be very bad. Was the flywheel surfaced for the 2600 or a stock clutch. Make sure everything is blead correctly and that the master cylinder and slave are still good. With that clutch i would get a new slave and cylinder if they are leaking at all.

no leaks what is the steping on the act 2600 as compared to the stock clutch? The extended rod is no good?

Extended slave cylinder rods are really just a "band-aid" to help work around a problem.

As stated, a proper bleeding of the system might cure it.

Could be:
Worn-out master or slave clutch cylinders.
Incorrect step height.
Worn pedal assembly.
Worn release fork and pivot ball combo.
Improper adjustment....... http://www.roadraceengineering.com/clutchandflywheeltech.htm toward the bottom.

the act 2600lb clutch engages quickly, that's why its a performance race clutch.

Your clutch pedal should be about 5" from the floor once it engages then that should only be about 2" of play before that. I would again like everyone is saying do a bleeding, or check the master/slave cylinder.

Also make sure you give it the 500 miles it needs, you start to notice it gitting stiffer as the miles go up.

5" on a 2600 once it starts to engage I don't think that is right I would say more like 2" before it starts to engage its a performace clutch.

 

[cburke23]

5" from the floor is the factory way, a 2600 is just a street/strip clutch, there should not be to much diff. Mine was set this way, same clutch.

It may just need to be bleed.

5" on a 2600 once it starts to engage I don't think that is right I would say more like 2" before it starts to engage its a performace clutch.

It doesnt madder it should still grab 4-5 inch's off the floor. When it starts to grab then yes it grabs way quicker, harder to slip a big clutch. But it should still start to grab 4-5 inch's off the floor. Im guessing bad slave, master cylinder or just a good bleed. Like the wisemen said the extended rod is like a band aid covering the real problem.
