I had some problems with what people would call "Lock out" this is when your car wont go into gear. This typically happens in a high RPM situation...over 7000 RPMS. I had my clutch pedal adjusted out pretty high. I didnt want to adjust it out too far in fear of "Preloading" the pressure plate, witch would cause the clutch to not fully engage possibly causing slip under WOT. However, I was having some "Lock out" when I would get over 7000 RPMS on the 1-2 shift. It is pointless to go over 7K on the stock turbo and cams, but sometimes crap happens. The only time I go over 7K on purpose is in 4th gear ragging it out for a 1/4 mile pass instead of going onto 5th. Anyway, I decided to adjust out the clutch pedal a little further (higher) and see what happens. I went for a ride and could tell right off the bat the car was shifting easier (the car was cold). After a few miles when I got everything warmed up I went for a rip....took the car to 7800 in first and it shifted like butter right into second....took it to 7600 in second and 7600 in 3rd...the darn thing shifts so freaking good I could not believe it. I am 100% more happy with this car now…time to go racing! I had missed 2nd a few times…due to my clutch being adjusted incorrectly. I have been driving/racing stick cars for over 10 years….Im a pretty good driver….and this was annoying the heck out of me…Im satisfied now! I love the ACT HDSS with my Xact Prolite Flywheel. So if your having problems give your clutch pedal a good adjustment.

I never had any issues with my ACT HDSS locking out until recently, but I believe that is primarily due to the EvoGreen making too much power for it. Good post!

Thanks man, try pusing out the rod a little further....it might help. As the clutch wears you need to adjust the peadal out to compensate.

I'm just going to go ahead and change it out. I've already got the parts to do a new clutch and swap out some things in the tranny

+1 on this, takes a few tries to get it dialed in just right, but worth the effort!

Are you serious? Adding more power will not give you lock out. Especially not from a green.
