And just so you know extreme psi sells full rebuild kit plates and all for 600 and some change. Idk where u get your prices from but it's pretty obvious you don't look very well for things you wanna replace. Idk if that's the one you run but took me all of 3 seconds to find.
$2,113.18 is the parts rebuild cost on the triple, without a pressure plate. You can get a pretty serious twin for that price.

You must have missed the part where I said I have family that work there and I get it at cost. So 1800 is basically cost. And why pay that much when I can run this twin and will be way easier to drive and keep my drive train from exploding.

And I will add this is prob the best clutch I have used on the street. It isn't a race only clutch like Exedy, Quartermaster, Tilton, and comp. This is built for the street why I have organic discs in my car. Sure if i wanted to run it on the strip I would go back to an Exedy but why? Light pedal, good for 850 crank tq and easy to drive.

Sure, but that doesnt help anyone else but you. I have an exedy triple now. Its ok. Wore fast. Going to a xclutch twin next week. I dont think for the amount of life you get that unless you had too, I'd go exedy triple again. All have caveats though.

I agree with you 100%, not everyone has family discount. And If you look at x clutch and the act there pretty much the same design. I have a buddy who has used both of them and he was like really isnt a difference driving them. So really what are you saving by going to them? But to each their own. I know I looked a x clutch last year at the shootout and even seeing them both myself I am not convinced one is better then the other. There is to many similarities.

I contacted STM and ACT directly for this.
STM said they dont keep rebuild parts, and had to go ACT direct, which is what I did.

Ok so question for guys that run Act twin clutch. What I am wondering about is how is shifting at high rpm on act twin? Are gears going smooth at 8500-9000rpm? The reason why I am asking, because I went with a lot of clutches from Act single, Exedy twin, competition twin to finally Quartermaster twin. All clutches had some issues with fast shifting at high rpm's except quartermaster. I have build trans and only quartermaster shifting perfect on any rpm I want. I can shift at 9200rpm with no single issue. How does Act twin perform with high rpms?

I can't really answer that being I have version 1 of the pressure plate. But I'm sure if adjusted correctly it should shift. That seems to be the problem though is they all lock out at high RPMs.

Does your version 1 have trouble with shifting at high rpms? I am wondering how's version 2, maybe somebody here will respond. My other clutches had issues with high rpm shifting, but quartermaster is doing it's job very well, but it is not friendliest clutch on the street.

Yes it locks me out at 9k. Act did a revision to help that and for the tabs not to break but I don't have that version so I can't comment. I in know I ride my clutch pedal closer to the floor then most which maybe my problem idk.

Unless you're changing out clutches all within a few hundred miles and not missing a shift in between, it's really hard to say if a clutch is causing lockout. Adjustment, trans condition, clutch lines, fluid etc all have a part to play.

The weight on the input shaft though, will have a huge part to play in high rpm shift quality. ACT spring tabs are to reduce noise and they were a huge issue, the design suggests the potential is there to shift at high rpm, but really what we need is someone to weigh the discs of all these different options! That will tell the story

Yeah I agree I myself was running Schaeffers 75w140 and it was ok but I have to have the car completely warmed up to get it not to shift like ****. I since went back to 75w90 in the trans and we will see if it will help. Odd thing is the 75w140 flows just as smooth as the 90 but is just thicker. I think I will be ok now that I switched cause when it drops below like 70 degrees thing just doesn't wanna shift
