I have an ACT clutch and flywheel I had installed about 12k miles ago with ZERO issues! No lockout or anything it shifts perfect in every gear, shifting @ 7.5k RPM is not a problem. It seems odd to me that so many have problems with ACT because mine has been flawless.
Sucks that so many people have issues with these clutches......

you must have got one that was made on a thursday lol...Mine for sure was made on a friday late in the evening rite before work was out during baseball season lol..
initially i had an issue with shifting above 7500 rpm....
hdss disc / pressure plate combo rated for ~480ft/lbs tq.......no pill, oem line.
i adjusted the rod below the dash & problem solved!
no issues with a 1-2 shift >8k.....all other gear changes are fine too.
1st try adjusting the clutch pedal rod.....
if that doesnt work, look into adjusting the nut behind the wheel.

My shop has installed many ACT clutches and everyone has nothing but good reviews, no one is having issues.

Now that ur hand is off the President of ACT's FAT D*** grab ur mouse, click and take a look at the number of people on THIS FORUM ALONE that have had problems with ACT. Now take a look at the number of people on this forum that have had problems with exedy! Now how is it possible that all the IDIOTS as u call them happen to all of bought a ACT product. So is what ur saying is all the dumb people bought a ACT and all the smart bought a EXEDY right? And in the next breath u said u have bought a ton of ACT products RIGHT???? So u in fact by ur own admission ARE AN IDIOT!
Now that u pointed that out, How many clutches have u installed on evo's??? Not many im sure! and if u did it wasnt a ACT clutch cause u said that too! So WTF are u here talking about!!!!! And why are u here telling people with evos what product to buy and how to install it WHEN U DONT EVEN OWN ONE!!!! And SAYING ACT SUCKS IS LIKE SAYING ACT SUCKS!! NOTHING ELSE!!! I KNOW THIS CAUSE I JUST TYPED IT!!! SO U CANT READ EITHER WHICH IM NOT SURPRISED CAUSE U URSELF CALLED U AN IDIOT!!! Feel free to reread the above to confirm that ACT SUCKS, MEANS ACT SUCKS! Now u say u know the benefits of a twin clutch vs a single clutch and its like apples and oranges. So tell me the differences IDIOT!! AND to think u have had ur hands on more evos than mine is funny. Now if u mean D*** then ur right. I have only had my hand one, mine!! But if u wanna put ur hand on it.......... DONT EVER CALL ANYONE ON THIS FORUM AN IDIOT AGAIN!!

Act i still hate you...and i talked to david buschur today after my tune and he hates you to!!!!!!!!so all of you who ran your mouths saying it was me or my car and not my clutch kiss my asssssssss....to those of you who have act and it works fine..your lucky and must be very religious lol...
Sorry to revive an old thread but it's a pretty well known fact that everything that comes with ACT clutches is junk. IMO if you have an ACT 6 puck and sprung clutch you should look into buying a pressure plate from someone else, and for the love of God an OEM throw out bearing. I've had friends with Evos with ACT clutches and all work fine as long as your not using one of their cheap street discs. And I'd be willing to bet that more than half of the people complaining about ACT lock out are actually complaining about worn synchros and they just don't know the difference. I have an ACT 3200 SD in my car and about 5 or 6 friends with Evos.. Mine is by far the smoothest shifting one out of all of them. Only gear I ever have trouble getting into is second but I think that's because I slam it into second too fast.. when I slow it down a bit I'm fine.
Twin and Triple disc clutches are great and you definitely get what you pay for but if your like me and don't make 100,000 a year and go to school full time you probably don't have the luxury of just dumping $2000 into a clutch setup and install at the drop of a hat. You have to live within your means and there's nothing wrong with an ACT clutch..
