Apparently, ACT clutches use Exedy wedge collars, even when purchased new. ACT never saw the need to design and manufacture their own... ACTman, please correct me if I'm wrong.

So in other words it should work perfect.

With that said do you foresee any possible problems with this? i.e would the tabs bend etc etc or how much testing was done? Thanks and I was waiting for this to be able to purchase one for my new clutch
So you are asking if we foresee any problems that we didn't foresee? Haha. We have had a bunch of parts that were installed the middle of last year by a couple leading shops that we knew we could trust to put it through the paces.

Seriously, the way it works and the idea for the design is pretty simple if you think about it. The only significant loading on the part during operation (stock or ours) is on the snap ring portion which gets sandwiched between the lever plate and the TOB. The collar and flange are there to push the ring out of the way to be able to disassemble it. By making it all one piece, we are just answering the problem of the ring getting bent or pushed out of place. To accomplish this isn't necessarily simple, but the idea is.

For anyone who finds our Monoloc is "out-of-stock" on our website, please note that the website only reflects packaged Monoloc collars. We currently have the components, but we may only package 50 separate collars at a time. If we happen to sell out and need to package more, we promptly do that. But since the website updates every morning, it may not reflect "in-stock" until the following day, unless of course we happen to sell out again. We are planning on changing the site to update hourly some time in the future.

So, does this part replace the piece that causes fits during clutch installs where some sort of pin falls out, and the whole process has to be redone with respect to locking the trans in place?

It's about time someone came up with a solution. I'm interested if any of the respected shops here have used this.
