OK! So I'm not alone. I'm switching to Exedy twin-plate to see how that go and will let you guys know. Basically, I'm not saying the ACT is bad but for the drag strip high RPMs shift, I can't just get it in as fast as I want. I did that all the times with my stock clutch. For the daily driving, the ACT is fined.

Looking to pay around $900 for the ACT with fly-wheel and around $1400 for the Exedy twin (check out www.myevostore.com for the Exedy).

Blocked shifts mean that the synchronizer hasn't synchronized the speed with gear you are shifting into. The blocking action is what the synchro is designed to do; it's to keep you from grinding gears.

You may want check your clutch adjustment, change to a different transmission oil and possibly lift when you shift.

Thank you for your advise. In fact, worry of my tranmission, I'm thinking of sending my trans to you for rebuild. But there's nothing strongly indicate that I have a tranmission problem.

Can you explain me more on "lift when shift"?

I am going through the same thing and will need to get a new clutch in the near future. I am thinking of the act. Where is the best deal at?

My clutch is starting to die (15.7K on it total with 1 very busy season of autocrossing on it). I, too, would love to know where you picked up the Exedy Hyper Twin Disk for $900.

Simply let off the gas when you shift. This will go along way towards keeping the drivetrain happy, especially when using a clutch that has way more torque capacity than what the drivetrain was designed to handle.

Or get a twin and Jon's tranny and you will never need to lift again

I made my choice

Thanks for the advise everyone, I decided on the Exedy twin disk from Logic Performance. Everything should be going on in a couple weeks, I post a write up after its all finished. My main concern was that its not overkill for a stock car but Dru @ Logic Performance assured me it would be OK.

Exedy has a selection of clutches available for street use in the EVO. The most popular, Exedy Twin uses two cerametallic clutch discs.

Also in the Exedy lineup is the Hyper Carbon Series which are available as either a Hyper Single, or Hyper Twin.
