Fidanza Clutch

[dsmornothing]

Alright so here is how this story goes, i blew my act 2600 apart after about 10,000 miles and probably 100+ launches so that was no suprise. I decided to try something different so i decided to go with fidanza after reading countless good reviews. I decided i would do the 3.2 because it was a 2600lb pressure plate and a kevlar 4 puck disk and figured it would last a little longer. Boy was i wrong, 210 miles exactly on the clutch (never shifting over 2500-3000 rpms) and it failed on me, the rivets that hold the spring hub on tore through the plate and a couple springs fell out, so i sent that one back and got a new one, this one i thought was going to make it, but once again wrong i was. 600 miles into the break in i started my car and could no longer shift. I checked all of my adjustments and they were all spot on, with no air in the system what so ever, so once again i pulled my transmission to find yet another failed clutch, this time the hub did not fully seperate but the rivets were pulled almost all the way through. Fidanza has in the end costed me wellll over 1,000 dollars, and they are telling me that its my car doing this and my driving. Long story short i went to act and got setup with a sick 6 puck unsprung and max xtreme pressure plate. i will post pictures later on of why fidanzas keep blowing......

My 3.2 did exactly the same thing except it completely blew apart. One of the puck arms even broke off and went between my pp and the flywheel, which in turn cracked the tranny in three spots. When I called about warranty, I insisted that they send me a 4.3 as a replacement. They sent me the clutch right away and this one has been excellent so far. I probably have about 5000+ miles on it and have had zero issues.
