ACTs are crap, plain and simple. A friend of mine Kyle had one in his GT35r + alky powered Evo and it died on him after only 3000 miles. Another friend of mine with a WR powered blue evo is having the exact same problem. Both of them have "adjusted" the clutch muuuultiple times and done every known procedure ACT has provided to them to "solve' the problem. I am in the same boat as you are, im at 41k miles, clutch is slipping through first and second; and i am looking for a QUALITY clutch, with lots of longevity for an AFFORDABLE price. Exedys twin disc what what everyone seems to recommend, but it is out of the price range i want to spend considering i will also be purchasing a flywheel and clutch line.
Im in the same boat as the thread starter, hard to find a quality clutch thats affordable

 

Act.

 

Exactly. I've had the twin for 8k miles (my '03 has 354whp) and I have NO problems driving it daily. Pedal feel is similar to stock just a bit heavier and the only complaints is that its a bit noisier than stock....ok, ok...substantially noisier than stock.

Worth every penny IMO
