ACT clutch problems..go figure.
I recently had an ACT MB7-XTSS clutch installed. Sprung, full face disc. And when I shift at redline, more than half the time, it'll lock me out of the gear.
Other than buying a twin disc, is there any modifications I can make to correct this? Right now I have solid shifter bushings (underhook and base), STS, AMS SSB clutch lines, to compliment the clutch.

if you dont wanna do the motor mount, i also noticed a shifting improvement when i swapped in a engine torque dampener, i used the ingalls kit. Shifting got a lot more crisp and less notchy.

Another issue that may cause the binding is if they didnt clean out the splines and put a bit of light grease on it (very light of course). If not then the disc can stay rubbing against the flywheel instead of floating off it cause a little excess drag.
On all my clutches if done (dozens if you include DSMs), getting enough separation and having good detailing on the splines has always given me great shifting.

Its really easy to adjust, I would suggest getting the engagement higher. That will help get more separation between the flywheel and pressure plate giving more room for the "wobble" of the disc.
