Clutch Input

The clutch engagement point is harsher than mine (kind of obvious but just to confirm). Even with that, it is not a hard clutch to use. You just need to modulate the RPMs to get it to grab. My clutch is a bit more forgiving. You can slip y clutch more to give you some room as to when to engage. The 6 puck wants to engage as soon as it touches, but again, I was able to drive Chris's car with no issues and the only time it almost died was the first time I let the clutch out but it didn't die. All other instances were smooth.

It's not a bad option at all. It was surprisingly easy to drive after reading a lot of people here complaint that it is so hard to drive.

I think you pretty much nailed it. The pedal pressure is less with the ACT pressure plate when compared to the Clutchmasters. The engagement point is much smaller with a 6 puck clutch than a full face regardless of manufacturer.

There are other options. My recommendation is go back to the OEM flywheel and get an upgraded clutch that works with the OEM flywheel.

I still have my AEM 6 puck with their lightest flywheel. I have the same noises everyone else has, but I have accepted them as having to pay to play. I like knowing I will never have to worry about the clutch slipping, and that I am getting better acceleration with the lighter flywheel.

i just pulled the trigger on an ACT with the full face disk and streetlite flywheel. getting installed at rev works friday. i'll post a review once it's broken in.

i riped my clutch as soon as i put it in stalled out once and then str8 drifting ahhah thats just me tho but you should like the ACT its nice! not crazy rough!

@King Tut @Sportsguy83, so basically to sum it up....

-Clutchmasters is heavier but more play room so less chance for mistake if not paying attention

-ACT is lighter but more precision is required

good to know. guess ill pay a lil more for more forgiveness when im exhausted from long days. plus still lighter then a GT500 or a Carrera(learned on this 1) and those r both easy. just wonder if it's as useful with a fast engagement wen racing for example

Yes, its as useful racing. Harder pressure plate is what will get your grip. The full face is what helps with the engagement .

Not exactly. Let me outline the options:

ACT has a lighter pedal feel
Clutchmasters has a heavier pedal feel

ACT offers two lightweight flywheel options
Clutchmasters offers one lightweight flywheel option

ACT offers a 6 puck or a full face clutch disk
Clutchmasters offers a 6 puck or a full face clutch disk

ACT clutch/flywheel costs around $600
Clutchmasters clutch/flywheel costs over $800 I believe

Isnt CM like 1000 bucks

[jamesm]

I had the ACT full face/street flywheel installed today. i've only driven it a bit, but i like it so far. it feels a lot more precise than the stock clutch, less mushy. the pedal is a little bit stiffer than stock, but not much. the downside is major noise.

Has anyone tried a Spec Clutch in one of the twins yet?

[jamesm]

I've read terrible things (with pics to prove lol) about spec clutches. I'd stick with act or cm.
