ACT out and EXEDY TWIN IN :)

I now have the Exedy and life couldn't be better. My already-fast shifting has improved dramatically...
1100 for an Exedy Twin? Where in the world did you get that, JJ? The going rate is 1450-1500. It costs vendors more than 1100 to even sell it...

I bought mine back in the good ol' days, when people were killing them left and right and they were inferior to the far better and cheaper ACT. Back in those days vendors were whoring them out just to get rid of them. Now, they have become "good" again and this has driven the prices up.

ACT is a decent clutch. But it sticks 1-2 gear changes and if i try too hard, Im Affarid i'll grind a gear. I've tried adj the rod, Tried NLTS, everything, Pennzoil, BG You name it. Am i missing something ?

The problem is that it will start acting up again, then you'll run out of room to adjust the rod. Once I got to the very end, then that's when my ACT started slipping soon after. I had about 100 drag passes all in the 12.0-12.4 range with 1.66-1.75 60's, so it did alright, but it gave up the ghost after 9500 miles. Interestingly, it started slipping on my way home after a weekend of road racing, but not during the weekend while thrashing the car and not after drag racing.
