Ive been using the ACT 2600 clutch with a street disc for roughly a dozen years now and I believe its time to end this relationship. Sure, it holds up nicely for what Im doing with my car, but the gorilla pressure plate is destroying pedal assemblies and I am fed up with going through the hell that is swapping the pedals out. Regarding the pedal assembly, Ive tried every availible fix and Ive done this a million friggin times as the thing fails repeatedly:
1. Welding the old crap- lasted a couple months then it twisted
2. Rebuilt with new parts- lasted a good while and then died
3. Rebuilt with new parts, including bronze bushings and then welded by a reputable company that knows how to do this right- This assembly has only lasted maybe a year and its already twisted to the point that the clutch pedal is roughly .5" lower than the brake pedal, the engagement window is noticeably lower and the only way to bring it up is to weld a nut to the bracket and adjust the rod out to the point that I get pedal pump up.
Basically, I want a clutch other than a twin disc that will hold up to 500whp with a lighter pedal to avoid killing my damn assembly. Either this or Im going to attempt to fab a direct link master cylinder or go auto because my back is being a piece of #### these days and its extremely painful for me to work on this thing....
