+1 for ACT. Had a 2600 on my gsx and I beat the hell out of it and it kept on gripping. No experience with the exedy so I cant compare but I will only get ACT personally.

how much power are you putting down? the only thing Im worried about is the twin disk being overkill with stock power levels. all the vendors I talked to said its not but then again their trying to sell something at the same time.

Anybody experience the gear lock-out at high RPM ( > 6500) shift? Especially into 4th gear. Thanks.

I'll be installing a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch with a matching Centerforce flywheel later on this month on my Evo. I'll report back after I break it in. I ran two Dual Friction clutches on my Talon Tsi AWD with great success. The clutch felt like a stock clutch around town and held up great at the dragstrip.

Yes. Several times at the strip with the ACT.

Yep! Me too at the drag strip and occasionally on highway. Adjusting it only temporary improved (able to shift but not smoothly) and eventually it'll come back.

I'm thinking of trying the Excedy twin.
