JoeyB had this issue for a brief period but called ACT and they sent the technical document to him about it and whatever fix they reccomended (snake oil?) fixed it. Having raced him to the top of 4th and 5th I can tell you it didnt lock out.

I have had my ACT HD for 80K miles and still going...A lot of the time the lock out issue isnt with the clutch, but with drivetrain mount movement I have found. Bushings help too...

It's just bull**** that no other clutches have this issue with stock mounts. I got some shifter bushings I need to install. Are you talking about those or replacing the motor and tranny mounts

Yeah I have solid tranny bushings, shifter base bushings and just the front lower motor mount. I also have solid carrier bearing bushings and solid rear diff bushings too. Trailing arm bushings are going in when the new coilovers go on in the Spring.

I havent had the issue in quite a few years. I only had the issues when I first got the clutch and was getting used to it. Its the HD with a sprung 6 puck race disk. The front lower motor mount pretty much eliminated 99% of the issue. The tranny bushings and shifter bushings I had already installed and made it better, but the mount really cured it. Also it didnt help that when the clutch first went in I used RP in the tranny.

Just a rule of thumb: Twin disc if you plan to drive the car (or tripple), anything else is just lying to yourself

It was a great movie! Got a little thin at parts, but overall a great movie. Sound track is wicked, but I'm sure most already know that.

It's more like single plate if you don't drag race or twin plate if you do drag race. Puttin' around in a noisy twin/tripple is a PITA if you just like to take it on the freeway (or any other situation where you don't need to be slipping it).

You may want to lear to read as well. He simply said you need to responde to texts. He wasnt self inviting. Infact, his text probably told you your a tool and should sit in the front row waving your neon frisby.
