My 95 GSX walked at 80,000 on the previous owner, which he turned around and installed a new factory block that I am still using at 120,000. If it walks again, I am definitaly going to put a 6 bolt in there.

I haven't checked endplay of it yet, cause quite frankley I'm too lazy. But, since it does have a ACT 2600, I will check soon enough.

I'm at 108,000 miles in my 1997 GSX, annd don't have any crankwalk symptons yet. I'm not saying that means it won't happen.

 

[allgripnoslip]

1997 68K miles and no signs yet.... Ill really have to watch it after the 2600 install this spring :/

 

[GritsnGravy]

I know the 7 bolts in the evo are a little different, but do they have the crankwalk problem?

 

[allgripnoslip]

are you talking about the japan only evo's? like the 3-6 or w/e # were 7 bolt? i havent heard anything personally but thats a good thing to consider.

Often when i read recommendations on what lightened flywheel to get with your aftermarket cluth, almost everyone recommend the Fidanza flywheel.. why?!
Im just about to start upgrading my gsx -99, and i think i have made up my mind to get the ACT2600 clutch and lightened flywheel combo.

Going to order this one: http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=17051&cat=440&page=1

Im just curious to why no one ever mentions ACT's flywheel?
Before summer arrives here in Sweden im puting in the evo3big16g turbo and EVERYTHING needed to support it to its fullest, leaving internals stock for now.

Offcourse i hope CW dosent showup, but if the ACT2600 only speeds up the the symptom, driving around with stock clutch is just ignoring the unavoidable.

Best reg.

Ok, enough of this thread already.

I'm currently using the ACT 2100 clutch, and the ACT street light flywheel, and the combo works great. Both flywheels are great. I guess it's just a matter of your own preference.

[logans dad]

Just got my 98 Gsx And thought it ran good. It idled down like 200 rpm when I pushed clutch in but didnt pay attention to it. You can see my mods in profile. 50 miles after lots of money put in it and act 2600 it idled down 400 to 500 rpm and I didnt want to think it was crank walk. removed balance shafts and checked end play. about 3/16 to a 1/4 inch. Cleaned out oil pan to find the thrust side of bearing laying in the pan. Car just turned 77000.

98 automatic gsx..no crankwalk, runs very strong at 115,xxx
