Clutch keeps blowing

[dsmornothing]

Alright so in the past 3 months i have blown 3 clutches. the first one was a ACT 2600 and after 10000 miles i blew the springs out of it. i replaced it with a fidanza 3.2 and 300 miles later boom it blows apart again. I replaced it yet again with another 3.2 and 800 miles late boom again, this time starting it up in my driveway. What keeps happening is the center hub that holds the springs in keeps blowing apart. Do you have any ideas? This is driving me absolutely nuts!

Have you tried to contact Fidanza with your isses? I just got the RGA# to send my clutch to them.

Everything is lining up perfect when you install? How about the transmission dowel pins, they lining up and/or in?

yes i have contacted fidanza again. everything is lining up good when it goes back together. i just dont know what to think? maybe my flywheel was stepped wrong?

make sure you have the dowel pins in place you should have 2 of them

Dowel pins are in place. i bought new ones last time the tranny was out

then i would check step height or possibly a warped flywheel. theres not too many things that could cause a problem

was the FW resurfaced for each new clutch im sure it was after the ACT and 10k miles aint too bad for a clutch depending on your driving

i think i got about 20k on my last 2600 on my gst and it was DD but i think a fwd is a bit eaiser on a clutch too maybe step height was off and that caused the Fidanza's to fail

what about your clutch pedel was it possible draging or improperly adjusted? were you getting "clutch pedel pump up?"

my clutch was adjusted perfectly, i just ordered an ACT 6 puck unsprung with the HD pressure plate. lets see how this one does.

I have had the same thing happen. Turns out my input shaft was a little bent and it wasnt going straight into the splines when bolted to the block. It would either blow the torsion springs right out or seperate the friction from the metal. I replaced mine 3 times double checking everything but that.
