Pedal travel Exedy stage 2 vs act 2600

[Hestman]

Im not sure if this has been covered before but here it goes. A buddy of mine has a brand new Exedy stage 2 for sale. Not sure if its the thick 3 puck or the thin 3 puck. Also one of the shift cables was stretched or warped then broke. I have new shift linkage and a new Shep stage 2 transmission waiting to go in!!!!

When I got the car you had to pull the shifter like you were going to go into 2nd gear before putting it into first, otherwise it would grind 90% of the time. None of the other gears grinded. Then after time the clutch quit fully disengaging when the clutch pedal was fully depressed.

I have the adjusting sleeve on the clutch master cylinder ALL the way backed out to increase the total throw of the pedal. I replaced the master cylinder. I have the braided stainless steel clutch line going to the slave cylinder. And I think he said he had a 2g push rod on the slave cylinder. Currently there is an ACT 2600 in the car and It still grips like no other.

I read on sheps website that with stronger clutches they require more pedal travel. I want to know if anyone has SOLID information on the pedal travel of an ACT 2600 or the Exedy stage 2. Im guessing the thinner disc would require less pedal travel to get it to dinengage.

THe pedal assemble Is fine its a buschur racing pedal assemble and was installed by a guy who has an 8 sec evo built it all himself. Im sure that is fine.

I DONT WANNA GRIND GEARS ANYMORE!!!!!

Is there anything im missing? Also the car has a welded center diff. Didnt really want that but her what are you gonna do when an awesome deal comes along?

I really hope someone can help me. I just wanna shift like a mofo

Not sure how much this helps but I have a TRE stage 3 transmission, and an ACT 2600 with SS clutch lines, and my pedal is like kicking a wall. I have engagement ONLY at the floor, not even 1/2 inch off of it. If in not at the floor, I will miss a gear, or at low rpm, not even be able to engage the next gear.

I currently have a 2600act setup in my 2g and it has little more pedal movement but it is close to stock for me. I never grind gears and i dont have to be at the floor to shift or engage.

Now my 1g had a pucked 2900act and that required me to get a re-welded pedal assembly, new slave, adjusting, and ss line plus 4 weeks of trouble shooting. After a lot of issues i got this clutch to have 3/4in from top to start to disengage and had some space from the floor till it disengaged. You got to remember simple things and worn pedal assemblies or many other items come into play with a stronger clutch on a 100,000 mile 10yr old vehicle.

When i first installed the 2900act it acted like yours. I had to go all the way to the floor and still sometimes grinded in shifting but did not slip.

Did either of you bleed/adjust the system at all? What about flywheels? Resurfaced or new?
