Actually if you search you will find that other brands do need adjustment from time to time and also have complaints about shifting especially at high rpm.

From what we have found in testing EVO clutches that have come back for rebuiding, they test the same as new when it comes to travel requirements in a static bench test. However the more the surfaces have been warped from overheating, the more travel is going to be required and therefore more adjustment is needed. The same issues are also true with some aftermarket flywheels that warp because they are too thin or have a thin bolt on surface. There is one popular flywheel that is less than 1/4" thick behind the disc which is way too thin IMO. Even the stock flywheels are too thin IMO. Our friction materials are meant to help pull the heat away from those surfaces but there is only so much you can do. The extra travel requirements don't show up in our static test, but if you rotate the parts and run an indicator in the surface then the high and low spots become noticable and is the cause for more adjustment. Of course warped surfaces are not exclusive to ACT clutches.

 

im at 15 and change miles wise and still have had no problem with my clutch yet. as everyone else said could be your driving, also i have heard that these clutches do suck ***. go after market.

 

I was stock for 10,000 miles now im at 22,000 and have current mods and it still holds strong probably launched the car around 20 times or so.

I drive normal and coast in nuetral more often then downshifting and never have clutch in at stop lights.

 

The shop that put in my Exedy twin disk installs 1-2 Evo clutches per day. They say that both ACT and Exedy are good clutches, and that's based on customer feedback, not rumors. For my case, they recommended Exedy because I drive 90 miles/day and it has less pedal pressure than ACT.

BTW, my stocker lasted 57000 miles and probably had a lot of life left. But I killed it at the drag strip with a few 5000 rpm/1.7 60ft launches.

 

lol sorry but "Transmition" lol

 

the act ruined my trany save for the exedy

 

If the car is not modded at all the clutch should be covered under the powertrain warranty I would think. It may be a pain to put it back to stock though for the cost of a clutch, especially if you can do the clutch yourself.

 

Couple of things - first, AWD systems are harder on a clutch and if you "launch" with a stock clutch, don't expect longevity from it. Second, clutches are a "wear item," and I'd be surprised if a dealer would cover it under warranty much past 10K miles...

 

This is very old but it will give some insight on the stock clutch if you haven't read it before. Grab a cup of coffee, relax and sit down though, for the post count is currently at 457!:

I have the stock clutch @ 67k and lately I been ripping on it, seems fine to me. has only 2 launches on it though. just my 2 cents. but I read something about some of the clucthes going out early.
