Hello, My names Tyler I'm fairly new here to the forums...anyways about 2 weeks ago i bought an 06 ix silver from california im in indiana...i drove it back and its a beast im happy with it i 2 stepped it one too many times and killed the clutch so i have decided to go with an act 6 puck with stock flywheel.
I will edit this later tonight or tomorrow with better grammar and descriptions etc but for now im here to throw up some pics...clutch wont be here till the 29th but i got a head start.

Ok... Do you have a question or what? I haven't heard many good things about the ACT clutches in evos, most will tell you to go to a twin disc if you expect it to last.

 

you need to put [img] before

and [/img] after your link

 

no question twin disc is not a must and act will last a good 10-15k+ miles if driven hard and launched on and still be just fine not everyone has to have a twin disc. You also might research wtf you are talking about before you post man because act are awesome clutches the people who have trouble with them do not adjust them properly there your average joe working on a car i went to school for this and will soon be master certified... i tryed the [img] stuff it did not work for the album i will do it for individual pics later

 

props for worken on your own car. I am also in school for automotive. I just did two clutch jobs on evo's so I have a few helpfull tips if you want.
1. There is a tranny bolt right by the speed sensor
2. you need a slide hammer to get the dummy shafts out
3. the trick to getting the tranny out is loosen the 4 subframe bolts almost the entire way so the subframe can lower a lil over an inch, and use a ratchet strap/ buddy to pull the engine forward in the compartment.
4. The TOB is a biotch especially if you have never worked on a pull style clutch. not much i can tell you hear except when they say rotate 90 degrees they mean the screwdriver handle(like you are tightening a screw)
Sometime you can get it released in a matter of seconds and other times half you tool set will end up sticking out of the wall....... good luck

Thanks yea i figured out the slide hammer thing tonight going to go purchase one tomorrow and weld a bolt to the end of it to pull the shaft out.

 

Lol, relax man. I was in the same position with my 380 rwhp lt1 camaro, i went through 2 spec clutches and realised i should have just bought the twin disc in the first place. Just offering some insight. For me 10-15k of hard driving is a year, maybe two max. Sorry, but i don't want to be doing a clutch job every year.

 

nothing wrong with act clutches.. had one in my built srt4 and i now have one in my ix.. exedy and act are both great companys.. its just a matter of how much you got to spend

 

which one's better for the tran's?

 

If used properly they will both be fine for the transmission. The twin disc will have a greater clamping force so if someone were to launch improperly without taking out the slack in the drivetrain, they will blow something really quickly.

 

Is there spose to be hella shavings magnetized to the tranny drain plug? mines covered it has 30k miles on it probably never changed before?

 

The 2 times i changed my fluids there was a decent amount of shavings as well and i never launch my car. I think its fine..just wear from the trans over time.

 

My point was if he killed the clutch in the car before he even got it home he isn't going to be treating the car very nice. A single disc is only going to hold on for so long. My car will be getting a Exedy twin HD and a shep trans rebuild net summer and i will never have to touch it again.
