Gears getting stuck

Same, I had the issue before having the ACT clutch tho. After every "maintenance" (bleed and grease up things around the fork) everything works flawlessly but as I start going to the track it starts to get worse. The clutch is dragging, there is no doubt of that, but I dont know what else to do, its a pain in the arse to have to bleed and grease the clutch after every track day, considering I go to the track almost every week during summer.

Common with the ACT. I have the same issues. Putting in the billet clutch fork helped, because I was also getting flex from the stock fork. Works fine 95% of the time. I am at 310hp.


The solution that has been advised by my tuner and mechanic is to toss the ACT and go with OEM Flywheel with a South Bend Stage 2 Daily Single Plate clutch. They have had good luck with this setup with street cars in the power range of mine.

Tcoat: interesting. Never had LWFW, but if ever, will note that hint.

Like every mod there is always a trade off for something else. I ran one in my Talon for about a month before I went back to the stock flywheel. The trade off for the faster increase and drop of the revs was it narrowed down the shift point margin for all gears. Was great on the strip but made the daily commute a pain in the ass. One of the issues I had was that I needed to hit the revs just right to go into first. Pretty sure everybody sitting beside me at a light thought I was inviting them to race when I would blip the throttle to shift from neutral to first.

Had this problem with my mild ACT SB7-HDSS clutch in my '13. Wasn't ever able to figure out how to fix it.

This happens to me as well. I also have a problem with getting locked out of gears, I’ll have to hold the clutch down for a few seconds before it’ll go in gear. It’s does seem to get better after a good bit of driving.

i see you are in pa and its getting cold out. some times in the morning it doesnt go into first easily at stop signs. once it get warm it goes away. so in the morning i just row between 1 and 2nd before pulling out of my street and that solves it mostly
