Hi, pals. I have an ACT Race Disc clutch in my car for about three years now and I am just begininng to have problems with it. First of all, this clutch has always been stiff (it's like going to the gym to work out legs). Under high RPM, however, I expereince a delay or (jam, if you will) in upshifting from 2nd to 3rd and downshifting from 3rd to 2nd, and I sometimes get locked out of 4th gear. If anyone is using this clutch, have you experienced such problem before?
What is the best aftermarket clutch for the 6 gen? I run about 400+ horses, so the stock clutch will not be able to hold the power. Thanks, Al. -------------------- I drive a Celica. Anything "less" is just a car! |

Not throwing the BS flag here but I see nothing in your profile that would suggest you are over 300HP - got a dyno slip on that? And if so - let us know how you got there so we can play too. The fact that the ACT clutch held up to that power for 3 years says much for ACTs already killer rep IMO. Get another one new - why would you look elsewhere if you got 3 years out of it? I know I change my clutches every 2 years at minimum just cause there is nothing like a new clutch [ACT all the way for me but others too obviously] and the peace of mind that I'm not gonna be stranded due to something i could control myslef so easily. Then again, I've said it before - I probably overmaintain my car -------------------- ![]() ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

DEATH, my car wasn't drivable for an entire year because it was under the "knife." So, technically speaking, I have only used my clutch for just about two years.

Under the "knife" refers to a "heart" transplant (3SGTE SWAP) and transmission swap. In addition, I changed my entire set up by upgrading to an after markt turbo with methanol application.
