Quick question - will the ACT HDSS combo fit properly on the 6-speed trans in my MR?

Clutch Kit: MB7-HDSS
Flywheel: 600205

 

HDSS is great till you want to shift passed 7500 rpm. Then you'll get aggravated. When mine comes out I'm using it for target practice

 

I have zero lockout issues all the way to the stock rev limiter. I usually shift at redline, or a little after, but i just wanted to test it out. i've never had any issues. the last clutch i had, an EXEDY stage 1, i had lockout in every gear at anything over 6500rpm. talk about a pain in the ***. I don't think it's a brand thing. i think it's an installation problem, and probably has more to do with the installation, and the flywheel than the clutch.

the ACT lockout thing seems to be like the "stock clutch problem"...blown way out of proportion. that said, i don't know what it does above stock rev limiter. up to 7200-7300 rpm though, i've never had any issues.

 

Thanks for the link sir! The Comp Clutches are awesome for people with mild upgrades, they aren't however for anyone making much more than 350ft/lbs.

In regards to ACT that combo is tried and true, but a few people have experienced lockout issues with the full face disc. Someone else had asked if it will work on the Evo IX, and the answer is yes. The only clutch that I know of that differentiates based on 5 speed or 6 speed is Fidanza. I would be happy to help with whichever clutch you guys need, our pricing will not be beat

 

I rather see you go with a comp or fidanza there both good but stay away from the act it hit or miss I got luck wit with the lockout issue..Chris is the man and map's team is all very helpfull and trust me no one can beat their prices not even crazy eddie..p.s thanks for the great pricing chris Im gonna send you A PM FOR SOMETHINGS I NEED..

 

Sounds good sir

 

If u can invest into a exedy twin, it'll save a lot of headaches down the road

 

What ever you decide on a clutch let us know. If you need some info on different clutches feel free to give us a call any time. We have invested a lot of time into testing different setups and know what works. plain and simple, Some of the products listed in this very thread would never even find their way into my lawn mower...

i say get the 3200lb act just incase u want a little more powah later...btw my brother is making 512whp and has the 3200lbs with street disk and its holding great only thing its a lil stiffer then stock

 

I previously had a stock pp with ACT unsprung 6 puck ceramic disc, I change it fot Exedy Stage 1 Heavy Duty and I really love it, way more easy to drive on street

 

My drivetrain guy told me that with the six-speed, the best thing to do is go with another stock unit. I have about 340AWHP. He says the heavy duty clutches have too harsh an engagement and will kill your tranny quicker. I had 40k on my stock and went with another stock clutch. I don't do any launches though. Can't beat the price either.

 

That's cause your mechanic is a schemer and wants you to do that so he can keep changing them more often...Act 6 puck if you wanna save money if not the exedy is hands down the best clutch no issues what so ever as long as you have the fork!!

 

lol owned^^^^

 

I just installed an ACT street disc with XDuty pressure plate and streetlite flywheel on my IX MR . And am experiencing very bad lockout issues at and above 7K.

Based on my experience I'd say keep looking.

 

Listen to him, i have a custom STM spec Exedy Triple cerametalic and it drives awesome, and i havent had a lockout issues once with some very high RPM shifts...
